Karin Reuter

"Blossom spring brightness"

01.04.1999 - 31.05.1999

Through the unstinting support of the Kunstkreis Lauda-Königshofen (Lauda-Königshofen Art Circle) it has proved possible, virtually in a "fast scene change", to engage the architect and artist Karin Reuter from Weikersheim. The generous space available inside the stairway of the FabrikGalerie (FactoryGallery) provides the observer with an impressive overview; virtually all the displayed objects can be seen from the high landing at a single glance. By contrast with most galleries with their individual rooms, this layout achieves a special charm and allows the works of Karin Reuter to appear in an impressive homogeneity and freshness. In addition FabrikGalerie reaches not only the local population but also a much wider circle. The numerous business visitors, both from Germany and abroad, in their regular visits to Lauda are always intrigued to find how the entrance area presents itself anew. Many times a business conversation begins not with a discussion on the actual purpose of the visit but with a refreshing interchange about contemporary art. Company employees, too, in their daily confrontation with the changing displays develop a special relationship to artistic presentation; their frequent discussions show a high degree of sensitivity and a surprising knowledge concerning the exhibits on display. This time there has again been a very positive resonance. Well equipped technically through the study of architecture at Karlsruhe with a strong emphasis on freehand drawing, following numerous painting courses and photographic experiments, and inspired by an alert view for the beauties of nature, both at home in the garden and while travelling, the works produced by various techniques radiate a spring-fresh lustre. The watercolours in particular communicate the emotional relationship of the artist with the moods of the countryside and greatly encourage the observer to go to the countries shown in the paintings in order to be immersed in the intense atmosphere. The paintings often have the appearance of being light and spontaneous, but with a fuller understanding the perfect craftsmanship necessary to achieve this does become apparent. Since the end of April Karin Reuter has been exhibiting examples of her work at the LAUDA FabrikGalerie. After briefly reporting at the main works entrance anybody is very welcome to come and see the exhibits inside normal working hours. A visitors book has recently been started and shows clearly that this opportunity is widely appreciated.
