INVITATION TO THE VERNISSAGE - "a tender chaos" AM 06.03.2025
In a world awash with turmoil, Glen Martin Taylor and Katja Jungwirth invite us to pause and explore the interplay of opposites in their collaborative exhibition, "a tender chaos". Through their artworks - Taylor's evocative mixed media creations and watercolour drawings and Jungwirth's emotive paintings - they delve into the tension between chaos and calm, hardness and softness, despair and hope.
The exhibition serves as a poignant reminder: no matter how fractured our world may feel, threads of love, hope, and tenderness are always present, waiting to be uncovered. Taylor and Jungwirth urge us to hold onto these fragments of light, to nurture them, and to seek the quiet strength that resides within each moment of disorder.
In their work, hardness does not overshadow tenderness; rather, the two coexist, embodying a harmonious contradiction that mirrors life itself. "a tender chaos" is not merely an artistic exploration but a call to action - to see beauty where it is least expected, to find tenderness in turmoil, and to embrace the unwavering grace of humanity amidst the unpredictable rhythms of our time.
Through this dialogue of materials and emotions, Taylor and Jungwirth craft a visual testament to resilience. They remind us that, even when the world feels overwhelming, there is always a place for love and hope to flourish.
German version:
"a tender chaos"
At a time when the world is riven by unrest, the Glen Martin Taylor AND Katja Jungwirth invite us to pause and explore the complex beauty of contrasts. Their joint exhibition "a tender chaos" unfolds a profound interplay of contrasts: chaos and silence, harshness and gentleness, despair and hope.
Taylor presents haunting mixed-media works and delicate watercolour drawings, while Jungwirth captures the emotional depth of human experience with emotive paintings. Together, they weave their artistic approaches into a powerful dialogue that invites visitors to experience the seemingly contradictory as a harmonious unity.
The exhibition is a touching reminder that even in a world torn apart, love, hope and gentleness exist - delicate fragments waiting to be discovered. Taylor and Jungwirth ask us to pause in the midst of chaos, to recognise these glimpses of light and to feel their mostly hidden power.
In her works, chaos and tenderness are not opposites, but components of a harmonious contradiction that reflects life itself. "a tender chaos" is more than an artistic exploration - it is a plea to discover beauty in unexpected places, to find tenderness in turmoil and to embrace the grace of humanity despite the unpredictability of our times.
Through the poetic dialogue of their materials and emotions, Taylor and Jungwirth create a visual testimony to the resilience of the human soul. They remind us that even in the midst of an overwhelming world, there is room - room for gentleness, hope and the quiet strength that lies dormant in every chaos.
