A cha has been through a lot. She came to France as an adopted child and grew up there in rather difficult circumstances. Today she lives in Mallorca and has embarked on the adventure of painting. Filled with stringency and immediacy, her paintings are undisguised - they are, as far as the artist's biography is concerned, characterized by a deep authenticity that encourages viewers to immerse themselves in them. After all, the figures in her recent large-format paintings are life-size and seek dialogue at eye level with us. A cha uses painting to get her story off her chest. In her world of images she returns to her childhood and youth, arranges the things of everyday life, orchestrates the little stories. And yet, there is always something threatening, a gloomy mood perceptible in the background. Her pictorial composition does appear classically trained, the interaction of the pictorial objects seems to be formally conceived with complete sovereignty, the motifs instantly communicate themselves to the viewer. A cha could very well have been a prominent player in Art Brut, but she paints here and now.

Paul Uwe Dreyer (b. 1939, Osnabr ck; d. 2008, Stuttgart) taught painting as a professor at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden K nste Stuttgart for more than three decades. His oeuvre shows the hallmarks of geometric constructive art: inspired by subjective experiences of reality, Dreyer's compositions visualize the dialectics of organizing principles and their potentials for variation, a guiding interest that is already evident in his early work since the 1960s and especially in the pairs and series of pictures he begins creating in the early 1970s. His art unfolds a fascinatingly dynamic yet nonhierarchical dialogue between colors, surfaces, and lines. The chronological catalogue raisonn reveals the consistency with which motifs evolve from his early to his late oeuvre, from architectural, figural, and ornamental tokens through elements resembling symbols and icons to complex penetrations of spaces.
