Looking at Green – Nature, Color, and Form in Concentrated Calm

The Chieming artist and graphic designer Christa Tauser presents in the Old Watch – Town Hall Ground Floor in Traunstein paintings that range between realistic landscape studies and reduced, almost abstract compositions. Those seeking an intensive art experience will find an exhibition atmosphere that focuses on color, light, and material.

From Nature Motif to Abstraction: Viewing Works in Nuances

Tauser's painting oscillates between representational and abstraction. In the examination of the works, the controlled colorfulness stands out: muted greens, finely broken earth tones, and bright glazes create depth. Areas, lines, and rhythmized brush strokes structure the visual spaces, transforming landscape into the concept of the image – beyond mere representation.

Form, Light, Material: A School of Seeing

The artist works with painting on canvas; matte and semi-transparent layers allow light to circulate within the image body. The spatial effect remains calm, almost meditative – ideal for an aesthetic experience that rewards careful observation. Motifs such as meadow edges, shore zones, or groups of trees condense into compositional fields, in which green acts as both color and mood value.

Art Historical Context and Curating

Tauser's reduced visual language connects to tendencies in 20th-century landscape painting, where perception of nature and image autonomy are considered together. The curatorial setting in the Old Watch – a municipal exhibition space – supports these quiet transitions: small series, clear hanging, view axes that open the dialogue between realism and abstraction.

Cultural Education from Practice

As a graphic designer, painter, and course instructor, Tauser has been conveying drawing and painting fundamentals for years. This pedagogical experience flows into her image conception: precise tonal values, economical settings, consciously applied form contrasts. Visitors benefit from a vivid, easily readable visual language that remains multifaceted.

Conclusion

What can you expect? A concentrated, sensory exhibition about the nuances of green – from landscape to abstract composition. Those who want to study color, light, and form carefully should experience this display live: quiet, precise, inspiring.
