Hello,
Attached is a press release from the city of St. Ingbert with a request for publication.
Fluidum – Astrid Woll-Herrmann exhibits at the St. Ingbert Town Hall
Fluidum
is what Astrid Woll-Herrmann named her exhibition: Everything is in flux in her works. "I want to show the movement in our hearts, minds, and my works," she explained in the artist talk with art historian Dr. Brigitte Quack, who also gave the introductory words for the exhibition. A vernissage as individual as the
one by Mayor Dr. Ulli Meyer, the Deputy Mayor Albrecht Hauck opened the exhibition and welcomed the numerous visitors.
Structures, Shapes, and People
Large-format pictures hang on the walls, some almost black and white, others in bright, contrasting colors. "I work in three thematic pillars: structures, shapes, and people," says the native of St. Ingbert. The typically generous brushstrokes are usually thickly applied. The artist enjoys experimenting repeatedly with structures inspired by nature and life. In other works, she has incorporated stones – "small sculptures," as she calls them – found during beach walks. Alongside these are impressive depictions of people, such as a child playing and an older woman marked by life. Particularly important to the artist is her almost sketch-like series on the refugee theme, which has engaged her deeply. Often, it is contrasts that give titles to her works: quiet and eloquent, pain and loss.
“Painting begins in the mind,” explains Astrid Woll-Herrmann. “Impressions that stick in the head initially influence the choice of material, then the composition, and ultimately the depiction of what is inside me.” Within her are not only shapes, structures, and people, but also music – this is also recognizable in her works.
The exhibition can still be seen until June 26, 2026, in the town hall gallery on the first floor of the St. Ingbert town hall.
