A catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition with a text contribution by Prof. Dr. Karin Stempel

Rosa M Hessling was born in 1954 in Zell/Mosel, Germany, where she lives and works. 

The development of Rosa M Hessling’s artistic work is not only characterized by a increasing differentiation and nuance of the modes of action of her pictures, (…) but is also associated with an increasing deceleration of the physical movement of the viewer in space. Rather, the viewer’s gaze rests in a finely choreographed spectacle of turbulence, in which implosions and explosions of color thwart and traverse. There is a figure of light which detaches itself from the color body that opens in a brilliant glow like a flower, an inflamed glow that illuminates everything and its gaze draws into an infinite depth, extinguishing in the whirlpool of this movement, in order to get out of it to emerge again from the subterranean glow. Gently pulsating, quietly floating, triumphantly shining, sinking into itself, smoldering and glowing – imago viva – here painting takes place as a visionary show.
