‘Fresh from the Aquarius source of inspiration in the truest sense of the word.’

With these words, Anys Reimann describes the starting point of her new exhibition Dawn of Aquarius – a journey through inner and outer worlds of images, through longing, memory and transformation.

Reimann works with collage, painting and sculpture, often simultaneously, in layers, in hints, with superimpositions. Her pictures sometimes emerge intuitively and emotionally, sometimes from a concrete cultural-historical or pop-cultural motif – but often also from a free, associative process in which feelings and thoughts are expressed physically. The results are multi-layered pictorial figures – idiosyncratic, beautiful, vulnerable, ironic or melancholic creatures reminiscent of fairy-tale characters, archetypes, dreams. Or of ourselves.

The exhibition title picks up on a spiritual-astrological concept: the so-called Age of Aquarius. In Astrosophy, it is seen as the beginning of a new, collective phase in which old relationships of violence, authoritarian systems and alienation are overcome. Instead, a togetherness is to emerge – a new consciousness: from ‘I to We’. Harmony, transformation, mutual trust. Perhaps that sounds trusting. Perhaps that is precisely why it is so powerful.
