Rosa Loy | Neo Rauch: Das Alte Land

Neo Rauch (b. 1960) and Rosa Loy (b. 1958) are some of the most esteemed and international contemporary artists in Germany. The New Leipzig School, known for its artists’ skilful paintings that are representational but still have an unreal feel to them, had a meteoric rise to international fame after the German reunification.

Like the Romantics, Rosa Loy and Neo Rauch emphasise an artist’s freedom, imagination, and spiritualised relationship with nature. Their fascinating artworks do not mimic any visible reality, but rather depict inner visions. The paintings are representational, but not realistic. The boundary between the reality, the dream world and different time levels seems to dissolve.

Das Alte Land is a tribute to the artists’ home region where their families have lived for hundreds of years. The exhibition is also Sinkka’s tribute to the artists’ works, their long-lasting love, working relationship and life together.

Please note, that only small handbags may be taken to the exhibition. Other bags should be left in lockable lockers.
