Urban Nature" exhibition
From September 4 to November 27, space will be made for a new look at the relationship between the city and nature in the place where files and negotiations usually dominate everyday life. Painter Katja Trümper and photographer Stefan Je-Löhr are exhibiting their works at the Wiesbaden Justice Center under the title "Urban Nature".
The exhibition will open on September 4 at 5 pm. Due to the security structure of the building, admission will take place between 4.30 and 5 pm.
Our cities are growing - and merging with nature. Urban gardening, green living and climate-adapted architecture are becoming increasingly popular. And where facades become gardens, roofs become places of retreat and concrete grows naturally next to trees, painter Katja Trümper and photographer Stefan Ye-Löhr are not far away. Both the contrasts and the fusion of urban and natural habitats are the subject of their work. The paintings and photographs will be on display at the Wiesbaden Justice Center from 4 September to 27 November 2025.
Two artists, two perspectives
The paintings of Hofheim painter Katja Trümper are characterized by strong, urban appeal: Compositions reminiscent of cityscapes and old computer graphics, bursting with luminosity. But there is always something original underneath. Vast landscapes, wild animals, the longing for freedom, balance and structure. Raw materials and negative spaces combined with sharp-edged pop aesthetics bring the opposites into balance. There is room for both: concrete and trees, steel and shrubs, cell phone sparks and fireflies. Frankfurt City and Taunus in one - places that characterize the freelance artist the most.
The works of Bad Schwalbach photographer Stefan Ye-Löhr are characterized by echoes of new objectivity, subjective photography and dreamlike, magical realism. Created on numerous forays through the Rhine-Main region, they refuse to be spectacular and are a mirror of a recovering soul. By using old, imprecise optics with a modern digital camera, Ye-Löhr creates a painterly imperfection in his photographs; but also a tension that nevertheless makes lush natural forms and minimalist industrial culture appear harmonious.
