To your place or to mine?

Short text on Sonja Witte's exhibition Zu DIR oder zu MIR?
Galerie Salon Hulit Art
2-16 August 2019

The title of Sonja Witte’s exhibition gets your attention from the very first moment. Zu Dir oder zu Mir? To your place or to mine? This is an encounter which asks for more space to develop. An encounter under Cupid’s wing, wouldn’t you say so?

The title-invitation is a messenger of surprise, adventure, love.

It is a love of personal discovery, self-creation and exchange. It is a message of freedom and creativity. The expression of a shared experience, of a mutual understanding.

To your place or to mine? This could also mean discovering someone else's home, being invited/ allowed into someone else's personal space. Maybe it's not only about choosing a particular place, but more about prolonguing a beautiful moment and giving sensuality and reflection a place to unfold.
Maybe it's also about time flowing through colour and form, through nature and human bodies. From your home (be it your body, your experience, your view) to mine.

There are different worlds and experiences co-existing in Sonja Witte's paintings: the sea and the dancing floor, swimming and flying, the concentration of an embrace and the explosion/unfolding of the universe. The images transmit a sense of wonder at the ever-changing, creative self, a feeling of joy and amazement from sharing a vital space of mutual inspiration, be it your place or mine.
