NILS-UDO in Prien: When Nature Itself Becomes a Work of Art
With ART IN NATURE, the Gallery in the Old Town Hall in Prien am Chiemsee will present an impressive overview of the work of NILS-UDO starting from July 11, 2026. The exhibition combines photographic works and paintings from various phases of creation with new works from recent years, leading directly into an art form that emerges from landscape, material, and perception.
An Artistic Experience Between Landscape and View
NILS-UDO is considered a European pioneer of Art in Nature. His works are created from plants, water, stones, earth, light, and time. It is precisely from this that a unique exhibition atmosphere arises: quiet, focused, and simultaneously full of physical presence. Those seeking to observe these works will not encounter decorative romanticism of nature, but rather a precise, poetic engagement with the vulnerability of ecological spaces.
Photography, Painting, and the Trace of the Living
The presentation makes visible how closely nature observation and artistic form are connected in NILS-UDO's work. Photographs document ephemeral interventions in the landscape, while the painting opens new condensations of the same thought. The series Traces of the Living accompanies the exhibition with discussions, literature, and film and deepens cultural education around perception, nature experience, and visual language.
A Place with Cultural Depth
Since its establishment in 1985, the Gallery in the Old Town Hall has been one of the important cultural institutions in the Chiemgau region. It is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM. Regular admission prices apply for the exhibition: 4 euros for persons over 21 years of age, free admission for persons up to and including 21 years; reduced prices are also available for members of the cultural promotion association, students, seniors, holders of the Prien guest card, and people with disabilities with proof. Individual tours are available upon request.
Site-Specific Outdoor Work at Fessler Pond
Particularly appealing is the planned dialogue with the outdoor space: The nature project Water Nest is being created specifically for this occasion at Fessler Pond and connects the exhibition and landscape in an immediate way. Thus, the artistic experience expands beyond the gallery spaces into the real natural space of Prien.
Conclusion
ART IN NATURE promises an exhibition of great silent strength: art-historically grounded, sensually experienceable, and current in its ecological stance. Those who wish to experience NILS-UDO live will find in Prien an exhibition that uniquely brings together nature, art, and perception. A visit is definitely worthwhile.
