With the artist Conny Maier, the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München presents an authentic and at the same time unconventional position, rarely encountered in the international art world. Her paintings and drawings also captivate with a wilful artistic hand.
At first glance, one gets the impression that Conny Maier conjures up the pictorial language of early Expressionism, especially that of the Munich Blauer Reiter, while her colour palette can take on a subtle old-master colouring. This beautiful appearance is crossed by aesthetic outbursts that are close to Art Brut and always give her motifs something wild and archaic. Her enigmatic scenery is shaped by archetypes that play through elementary forms of interpersonal encounter. They tell of the great emotions of love, fear and anger, the dominant themes of the arts since classical antiquity.
Conny Maier will transform the Munich exhibition spaces into a timeless world landscape as well as into an enchanted monastery garden.
