Nepenthe at Patch.Work: Painting as a Poetic Space of Perception
With the exhibition Nepenthe, Patch.Work in Seeon opens an artistic resonance space for the gouache and collage works of Maria Beykirch. The presentation, curated by Christine Bender, leads into an image world where lines, surfaces, and color tones merge into an intensive aesthetic experience. The announcement of the opening on 23.05.2026 at 4 PM already points to a kickoff that attracts both art enthusiasts and cultural audiences alike.
Between Line, Surface, and Movement
Maria Beykirch has been predominantly working with large-format gouache paintings on paper since 2005. Her works unfold a special tension: sometimes poetically free, sometimes strictly structured, sometimes open into space, sometimes as a resistant structure. In the examination of the works, condensations of rhythm, gesture, and composition emerge, reminiscent of dance, memory, and inner images.
An Exhibition with Art Historical Depth
The artist, born in Goch on the Lower Rhine, combines in her career human medicine, dance training in Munich, and artistic education at various academies both at home and abroad. This biographical complexity also shapes her oeuvre: it stands for a painting that not only represents movement but makes it structurally tangible. In the tradition of a figurative yet free paper painting, works are created that oscillate between abstraction and figurative suggestion.
Patch.Work as a Place of Encounter
Patch.Work sees itself as a creative hub in Chiemgau and offers a suitable framework for contemporary art with its bright rooms. The exhibition benefits from the open atmosphere of the house, which is used for workshops, events, and cultural formats. This context enhances the art experience: art here does not appear as a distant position but as a vibrant part of a culturally anchored urban and regional place.
Art Experience for the Curious and the Returning
Those who visit Nepenthe encounter a painting that does not present itself loudly, but works through concentration, materiality, and inner movement. The works invite one to linger, to see closely, to recognize subtle transitions of color, rhythm, and form. For art lovers, an exhibition opens up that connects education, perception, and emotion.
The result is an exhibition that is both sensual and reflective, convincing with its paper paintings, compositional sensitivity, and quiet intensity. A visit to Patch.Work is worthwhile for all who wish to not only see contemporary art in Chiemgau but to truly experience it.
