Hildegard Kappert-Meyer

"Travelling impressions"

01.06.1999 - 31.07.1999

Currently exhibiting some of her work is the painter Hildegard Kappert-Meyer from Rothenburg/Tauber. Born in Lower Saxony, the self-taught artist started painting as a hobby in 1980 and attended painting classes at the Hamburg adult education centre. Over a period of six terms she discovered her in-born gifts and studied for two further terms at the Blankensee art academy. Having in the meantime moved to Rothenburg she came into contact with Rosemarie Richter and together with her founded the Artists Circle there. In her numerous oil paintings and watercolours we can see landscapes, flowers, still lives and scenic motifs. The current exhibition contains interpretations from her home in the Tauber valley as well as travelling pictures from the North Sea, Majorca, the Provence, Tuscany and other parts of Italy. Kappert-Meyer experiences nature from its impact on her and occasionally uses extremely delicate, fragrant colour tones in order to captivate the viewer with a harmonious composition. Her trained eye, sound practical knowledge and deep love of nature give her watercolours a living intensity.   Even more impressive are her oil paintings which demonstrate her generous brush strokes. Expressive motifs crowd into the foreground, attract attention as if by magic, and result in pictures of expressive forcefulness. A slight estrangement and the flat treatment of the entire image render these landscapes a true engagement with nature. The exhibition at the LAUDA FabrikGalerie transports the interested viewer into a living world of breathtaking landscapes.
