Artists from Neschwitz, Saxony

Ceramics, oil paintings, watercolours, textile works, plastics and photos

01.10.2003 - 31.11.2003

The works of four artists from Neschwitz, Saxony, were exhibited in the town hall of Königshofen for several days during the Königshöfer Messe (Königshofen Fair). Now this outstanding artwork from Lausitz (which, incidentally, is in the immediate vicinity of the Wobser family's former home town) is on view in the FabrikGalerie of the LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER company until the end of November. Ino Jänichen-Kucharska is represented by a selection of ceramics, oil paintings and watercolours. The artist selected three letters from her first name of Ingerose to come up with the name of the Greek goddess for ships in distress – Ino. The life of this multi-talented lady reads like a book; apprenticeship as a bricklayer, studies in architecture, work as a teacher, architect, garden designer, painter, ceramicist, poet, musician… her fantasy and creativity appear to be indefatigable. The exhibits on show present a small selection from her vast range of artwork. Rosemarie Köster presents her ”Unique Textile Specimens” behind glass. The filigree works of art have already been exhibited in a multitude of cities including Berlin, Bremen, Dresden, Freiburg, Heidelberg and Krefeld and have received a great deal of attention at international competitions. Several of her works have already been snapped up for public buildings. Wrought-iron candle holders, bowls with highly-imaginative shapes and surfaces and various other objects by Michael Kaczmar are on view at the exhibition. The highly-talented smith learned his trade in his parent's smithy, completed his master craftsman course and, following his traineeship to ”Professional Restorer”, dedicated his working life to the restoration of monuments. The Chamber of Handicrafts in Kassel honoured him with the title ”Recognised Restorer for the Smith Trade”. After his studies in the USA, he took over his parents' business and taught style, metalwork and the preservation of listed buildings at the ”Bundesfachschule Metallhandwerk Rosswein”. Michael Vogler's artistically-designed photography depicts unfamiliar picture details and perspectives; attractive macro images captivate the observer. Vogler's career is also an interesting one; from his A-levels, to dropping out of his fighter pilot traineeship, through to his studies in agriculture (completed in 1975) and his studies at the Engineering School for Horticulture, his job as a painting therapist and restoration work on churches right through to his freelance artistic profession as photographer.
