WINTERSALOON
group exhibition at the gallery shower
15.12.2023 – 13.01.2024
In a city where endless roads lead beyond its borders to other cities, where the sunsets bathe the sky in a dazzling kaleidoscope of glistening pink and brilliant orange, lives a man who fancies himself a cowboy. His fake profile name on eBay classifieds sounds like a call from days gone by: Jack Lonestar.
Jack Lonestar is a man with a brave heart and an irrepressible thirst for adventure. His soul yearns for freedom and his thoughts often wander through the endless expanses of the Merseburg road. A hero in the stories of simple life and yet filled with a tiny spark of passion for something extraordinary.
One frosty morning, when there is an icy chill in the air and his breath forms little clouds in front of his face, a fleeting message reaches him in a rectangular shape. Wild and free as the wind, a flyer lands straight in his hand, shivering with cold. “Wintersaloon, Galerie Shower, more than 70 artists…” is emblazoned in color. The heart in his chest gallops. Art had always exerted a mysterious attraction on him. He grabs a coffee pot and storms off. The glances of curious passers-by bounce off his haste. When he finally reaches the doors of the gallery, he bursts into the room like a whirlwind. A flood of artworks greets him, each one a window into a world beyond imagination. Paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures and installations – a sea of creativity and expression, of compositions, colors and shapes, of stories and beauty – envelop the soulful cowboy. Satisfied, he whispers into his coffee cup: “This is extraordinary.”
