Dreamlike! Surreal Realities: A Journey Through Image Worlds Between Consciousness and Dream

In the Municipal Gallery at the Culture Forum Traunstein, the group exhibition Dreamlike! unfolds an intense art experience: Surreal realities meet precise drawing, painterly visions, object-like irritations, cinematic sequences, and poetic collages. Those seeking the exhibition atmosphere will find here a sensual contemplation of works beyond the boundaries of the real.

Imaginary Topographies: Painting as a Thinking Space

Bright color fields, glazing transitions, and hard contours create tensions between figure and space. Painting becomes a stage: shapes tip, perspectives jump, the eye gropes. This results in an aesthetic experience in which composition, rhythm, and materiality sharpen the vision.

Drawing and Line: Precision that Dreams

Fine graphite traces and dynamic ink works condense into visual scores. Lines weave body and architecture, shift proportions, and turn the paper into a projection surface for memory and spaces of possibility.

Object, Film, and Collage: Surrealism in Today’s World

Assemblages irritate the familiar world of objects, while cinematic sequences translate the unconscious into time images. Collages combine image shards and found objects into new narratives. In the curatorial setup, a dialogue of media emerges that carries the art movement of the surreal into the present.

Education and Curation: Visual Training for Mind and Senses

The Municipal Gallery Traunstein sees itself as a place of cultural education. Regular guided tours, artist talks, and formats like Art in the Morning deepen the understanding of technique, era, and context. The audience experiences art history as the present: painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and video are thematically linked, questioning, and open.

Spatial Impact and Light

The former monastery rooms of the Culture Forum concentrate daylight and architectural clarity. White spaces, sight axes, and proportionate hangings support the contemplation of works and allow material, color, and surfaces to speak.

Conclusion: Dreamlike! invites you on an enlightening expedition into the visual language of the surreal. Those who appreciate art-historical depth, sensual spatial impact, and inspiring curation should experience this exhibition live – for a lasting aesthetic experience.
