Exhibition at the Stadttheater Fürth

Manfred Hürlimann

On Wednesday 11 March we were busy all day hanging the exhibition of Manfred Hürlimannin at the foyer in the Stadttheater and we were really looking forward to the planned opening of the exhibition. Manfred Hürlimann had worked towards the exhibition for a year and painted all the pictures especially for it.

But due to the current situation and the generally tightened security measures around SARS-CoV-2, we unfortunately have to cancel the vernissage planned for

Sunday 15 March.

However, we hope that we can hold the vernissage at a later date.

We will keep you up to date and thank you for your interest!

Artist Profile

 

Manfred Hürlimann

Whoever looks at Manfred Hürlimann's paintings first recognises something concrete.

Then he will see that they are pictures of people; Images of people in a special condition.
A large part of the image area is empty: with a coloured or black background.
Whoever addresses Hürlimann's paintings asks less about the way in which they were made than about their content.
The low perspective view of the figures, the artist's handling of the colours, his painting technique become a minor matter in view of the background composition of the picture. The decorative appearance quickly turns out to be an optical trap; the second appearance turns out to be a negation of the aesthetic.
Manfred Hürlimann's imagery is embedded in the elegance of the sophisticated world.
Life is a theater, and theater in all its diversity is the subject of this exhibition.
Both the actor and the viewer play their part.
Image content and its painterly representation challenge the viewer: to see, to recognise, to understand.
Dr. Claus Pese
