Exhibition opening with the artist and gallery owner Dr. Jörk Rothamel
Hiroyuki Masuyama follows Caspar David Friedrich's wandering routes. Just as the 19th century painter created his pictures on the basis of countless studies of nature, the 21st century digital artist composes his landscapes from 300-500 photographs each. The result is backlit works that resemble their models in an irritating way, yet sensitively explore the changes over time. The presentation includes a small selection of works by Masuyama based on paintings by Friedrich, showing landscapes of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, including the "Monk by the Sea" and the "Steps of Life" - two new creations from the anniversary year 2024. With Caspar David Friedrich through the year 2024 - we are there!
