Between Nature Traces and Color Space: Alexandra Sonntag's Exhibition Please Disturb
With Please Disturb, Alexandra Sonntag will showcase a painting that transforms familiar motifs into open image spaces starting October 23, 2026, at the Kulturhaus Gallery of Ostblock. The opening will begin at 6 PM and will be accompanied by an introduction by Christian Stiesch.
When the Figurative Starts to Resonate
Alexandra Sonntag's paintings are not depictions of nature. Leaves, blades, paths, animals, and architectures appear as tangible traces that dissolve into color, patterns, and gestural lines. The foreground and background lose their secure order; the image surface begins to vibrate and develops an almost musical movement.
Painting Between Naturalism and Abstraction
The exhibition moves in a space full of tension. Familiar forms remain recognizable but evade a definitive narrative. This very suspension between naturalism and abstraction shapes the aesthetic experience of viewing the artwork: The motifs seem simultaneously approachable and enigmatic, calming and unsettling.
A Distinct Position in Contemporary Art
Alexandra Sonntag studied Visual Communication at Bielefeld University and Free Art at the University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig. She was a master student of John M. Armleder and lives and works in Bielefeld and Geneva. Her paintings have been presented in numerous exhibitions both domestically and internationally, including art associations, museums, and galleries in Bielefeld, Herford, Berlin, Zurich, Rome, and Vilnius.
Exhibition Atmosphere and Artistic Experience
The presentation at Ostblock invites for a concentrated viewing of the works. Colors, shapes, and painterly traces create an open spatial effect where perception constantly reorganizes. Visitors experience art as a process: The eye seeks landscape, body, or architecture but instead finds a resonant space for memory, movement, and suggestion.
Conclusion: Please Disturb promises an intense artistic experience for all who see painting not as a definitive representation but as a movable form of perception. The exhibition opens an inspiring dialogue between experiences of nature, abstraction, and gestural color. A visit to the Kulturhaus Gallery enriches cultural education and creates space for a sustainable aesthetic experience.
