On Sunday, May 27, 2018, at 11 a.m. , Alexander Wolff 's exhibition will open at the University Heart Center Freiburg ∙ Bad Krozingen (Südring 15, Bad Krozingen, attic floor). Under the motto "The One and the Other", viewers can expect to see large-format paintings and drawings overlaid with photographs. Glass objects by Elisabeth Tomas can also be seen in the showcases in the entrance hall.
Born in Sulzburg, Baden, in 1952, Alexander Wolff came to painting through the nun and artist Sr. Christamaria Schröter. He has been committed to painting since 1988. In his current exhibition "The One and the Other", he is showing two different groups of works: large-format paintings and large-format drawings on cardboard, over which photographs on transparent film are superimposed. The superimposition of the image carriers corresponds to the interweaving of photographic external view by camera and graphic internal view by hand.
The exhibition can be viewed from Monday, May 28, 2018, to Friday, June 29, 2018, on weekdays from 9 am to 6 pm at the University Heart Center, Bad Krozingen site (attic floor).

Opening of the exhibition on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 11 a.m. in the attic of the clinic. Small sculptures by the artist can be seen in the showcases in the entrance hall.
"ut pictura poesis" - like the picture, like the poetry! This artistic motto, known since late antiquity, is still valid today. The artist Wolff proves this with his pictures and texts. It is about the landscape, about the sensual perception of the personal space of experience - not only visually, but also acoustically.
"Sometimes the stillness of the picture gives rise to a stronger listening to the word."
The encounter with the world is expressed in form and color, but not, as one might expect, through a landscape sketch, but through associations that become concrete in color forms and find their way into words.
Where one went
Crafting time
Vessels for the snow
Forms
Of farewell
Sober & clear
Inside
A broken white
A first word of spring

Alexander Wolff
What does he want to say with these pictures?
He painted these pictures and did not say anything.

How do I find access? Simply look. What is depicted? What is communicated to you. And if nothing communicates to me? Then ask the picture.
Objects by the artist can be seen in the display cases in the entrance hall. Materials such as a belt reel (left) or pieces of wood (far right) are integrated into the hard foam blocks.
