Exploration of the Secession set for Tuesday, 24th June, starting at 4:30 PM.
Get ready to dive deep with Ariane Mueller's thought-provoking artwork, "Fische sind ins Meer gefaltet wie das Meer in die Fische." This piece is split into two realms, each reflecting war and peace. The war-centric sphere showcases large-scale, stunning landscape representations - some sketched around Vienna and Styria, others derived from Chinese artist Shi-Tao's works [1].
These captivating landscapes depict a variety of paths leading inward, which Mueller calls "Holzwege." They symbolize an inner longing to escape the hubbub of life, to find solace either in isolation or in timeless painting themes, diverting attention from contemporary clashes and political debates. However, the artist questions whether such a refuge can truly be found [2].
Consider these landscapes as nature's response to the continuous cycle of war and peace – a destructive force folded into existence, merging with the natural world, yet persisting amid the chaos [3]. In this way, war and peace intertwine, neither entirely distinct but constantly influencing each other.
