An Evening in Green: Vernissage with Christa Tauser at the Old Watch

On Sunday, December 7, 2025, the exhibition Looking at Green featuring works by the Chiemgau painter and graphic artist Christa Tauser will open at the Old Watch in the Traunstein Town Hall. Between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, the artist invites the audience to view her works – a concentrated artistic experience that brings peace, mindfulness, and color into a harmonious balance.

Painting as a Breathing Space: Color, Light, Inner Balance

Tauser's painting is rooted in acrylic and oil, with her vocabulary ranging from reduced surfaces to finely modulated transitions. Green serves as a guiding motif and resonance space: sometimes as a cool shadow tone, sometimes as a radiant glaze. In the exhibition atmosphere of the Old Watch, the images unfold a clear spatial effect – subdued light, matte surfaces, and calm compositions. Forms seem to breathe, figure and ground balance, and color leads the gaze.

Works: Figure, Still Life, Contemplative Gestures

Tauser develops serial cycles: figurative portraits in moments of pause, still arrangements, and landscape rhythms. Her compositions follow a precise curation: light-dark placements, fine traces of materials, and clear edges. This creates an aesthetic experience that invites contemplation – a quiet yet assertive visual language.

Art Historical Context and Practice

In dialogue with traditions of modern painting – from grisaille as an underpainting to contemporary color tones – Tauser condenses graphic precision and painterly freedom. Her experience as a workshop leader contributes to a trained sensibility for material and process: layering, glazes, spatula traces. Her exhibition history in Chiemgau, frequently presented at the Old Watch, anchors the artist regionally and makes her work immediately accessible to art lovers.
