Leipzig is a major center for visual arts in Germany, in constant effervescence, where many artists live and work. Together, they form the "Neue Leipziger Schule" (New Leipzig School). Their creations combine figurative and abstract elements, emphasizing creativity and experimentation, always with a touch of originality. Behind each work lies a story: sometimes personal, sometimes disconcerting, sometimes whimsical.
In the footsteps of such great names of the "Neue Leipziger Schule" as Werner Tübke and Neo Rauch, young, committed, and promising artists are emerging. We are pleased to present one of them – sympathetic, original, productive, and certainly destined for a bright future: Gustav Sonntag.
"... Despite all its figurativeness, the painting is treated as painting, the pictorial character, the color are highlighted as such. Even though most of the motifs are figurative, there are always enclaves, vacuoles... in which the image retains the possibility of being true to itself as painting... Gustav Sonntag has a good intuition for the unity of the fundamental tone in a work, which should not be lost in surfaces of a thousand interesting details..." (Christoph Tannert, art historian)
