Between painting and material: the work of Rudolf Haegele
Haegele worked with earth-colored structures that are partially scraped away to reveal characters, messages, or words. This very interplay of concealment and revelation shapes the exhibition experience: The works appear calm, intense, and artisanally precise at the same time. An atmosphere emerges for visitors where art does not present itself loudly but unfolds layer by layer.
