Editor's Note
This editor’s note highlights the key facts and market implications behind “Drachenbronn-Birlenbach: Two Artists Reveal Them”, with emphasis on sourcing, product fit, fabrication, logistics, or buyer impact.
Nestled slightly on the heights, between Birlenbach and Drachenbronn, artists Roma Babuniak and Anja Merkel will present their work at their homes on Sunday, April 26. For this ephemeral exhibition, their creations will be accompanied by works by Andreas Lange, who recently passed away.
Works That Invite Multiple Readings
With more than 40 years of career in her field, a multi-award-winning artist exhibited in Italy, Germany, Austria, Croatia, England, and even Japan, Roma Babuniak has lived in Drachenbronn for three years. Her display window imposes silence and respect. At first glance, almost every work seems quickly seen… But in the end, when you look more closely or from another angle, you discover that her multi-layered works, particularly with plexiglass, and those with light effects, require multiple readings.
Porcelain "is the material that has intrigued me all my life," she emphasizes. Although fragile at first glance, once fired at 1330°C, it is less so. Roma Babuniak, an Anglo-German artist, proves her multiculturalism notably through her various travels. "Aesthetics are very important," she states. One of her specialties is that she uses almost no glue. "Black porcelain," called "kokodei" in Japanese, is highly appreciated by the artist.
Her work Vortex , at once strange and fascinating, testifies to the use of this material. "One must not explain all the works," explains Roma Babuniak, evoking elements of personal life and the free interpretation of the viewer's eye.
“One must not explain all the works.”
The works of Anja Merkel, her neighbor in Drachenbronn, will also be present. Her work on lines, shapes, and colors also forces a reading at multiple levels of depth. Nevertheless, with a more jovial note than her neighbor, Anja Merkel believes that "art must be understood for what it is." Among her abstract paintings, without finding a specific figure, one discerns a captivating harmony in her works. "Art must be allowed to link heaven and earth," she slips.
As for the works of Andreas Lange, they are composed of black and white lines and very colorful pointillism. Exhibition at 54 and 56, rue Louis-Philippe-Kamm in Drachenbronn, this Sunday, April 26, then Sundays May 3 and 10, from 3 to 6 p.m.
