Whispers from the Gallery

The opening is on November 1st! Until then, we have set up a countdown on Instagram, which now provides new daily insights into what is happening in the KunstSpeicher im Hof with pictures, text or a short video. One thing is certain: it won't be boring until then... Here is the first impression:

I would like to expressly thank my previous studio community for 9 years of community, I always loved coming to my beautiful old building studio and we often drank coffee together and talked. Now it's time for a change of scenery - we've signed a new rental contract! It's almost time - my studio move is imminent and I'm even staying in downtown Flensburg. As an artist trio, we have found a very charming house from 1780 and from September we will be designing the next chapter in the almost 250-year history of the house. The goldsmith Dominique Lenoir will work on the ground floor, Kira Köntges will be creative under the roof and I'm really looking forward to painting my pictures behind the middle four windows. In the next newsletter I'll probably be able to present the result of the move...I'm really excited.

July 2024

Almost finished: this month I will add my latest website in English to Google - it is already online and you can take a look. Since my maritime paintings are particularly popular in the USA, the site presents different maritime motifs in different sizes, along with some background information.

"With the proceeds from online auctions and donations, 100 percent of which are passed on, United Charity supports children's aid projects throughout Germany, but also internationally." - I would like to make a contribution with an abstract picture "Positive Energy", which has been succesfully auctioned  11th of March  to give victims of violence, poverty, disasters, incurable illness and war at least a little break in the form of a free vacation. Many celebrities such as Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, Günther Jauch, Kevin Costner, Karl Lagerfeld, Dirk Nowitzki and Die Fantastischen Vier are or were also active in helping.

.. I found to my delight the published fotos from a project of artmajeur: "Behind the Canvas, Facing the Talent".

Dec 2023

The british art website has new software and a face lifting. All artists present themselves completely new with their pictures - so far there are over 20 Nottrott paintings, and I'm already "Artist of the Week".                                  

Nov 2022

It's been a long time ago ... and brings fine variety and challenge again: I'm painting on (for me) small formats like 100 x 50 or 100 x 70 cm again.                                       

July 2022

It's time to put the thought I've had for a long time into practice: I want to paint some pictures with oil paints - the (solvent-free) paints are supposed to come next week, I'm really excited and looking forward to it.

June 2022

- It's really interesting to rediscover the oil painting              

                                                             techniques... the paintings are drying, getting more and

                                                             coming online in autumn!                                   July 2022

Many thanks to Singulart for a call which I am extremely happy to support with the successful sale of the painting "Positive Energy XL 2": Singulart is selling 100 paintings and 100% of the proceeds will go to Doctors of the World for humanitarian assistance in Ukraine.                                          

March 2022

Step by step - I'm happy to start the collaboration with Artsper, my first paintings are online between works by Bansky, Andy Warhol or JonOne in a large catalogue of contemporary artwork. I' ve been happy reading this note: "I'm writing this e-mail to let you know that your artwork "Nature Symphony L 4" has been added         

                                                                   to "our  recommendations" on Artsper's website."                                             Feb 2022

Founded 2019 RTistiQ is a young art platform in Singapore to connect artlovers and artists. Diversity and Social & Environmental Responsibility are the core values, complemented by technologically supported security. I will expand my presence on RTistiQ and look forward to the development.

Ms. Dr. U. Howard made a phone call six months ago - and she was convincing. The lady has considerable energy in her, does not let herself get down and has an unusual, interesting, very own way of looking at things and despite her age has not lost her idealism. For her book 'Corona', which has just been published by Winterwork Verlag, she asked whether it could be illustrated with Nottrott pictures: yes, she chose 10 pictures.

When a painting is shipped, it should be securely packaged and arrive safely. However, I would like to counteract the wood consumption through the painting packaging: I supported a tree-planting campaign in Germany and made a global contribution to forest support.

Nov 2020

Now the shipping has been worked out and tested: I can even send these very large, 3.5 sqm paintings stretched. I am very excited about this opportunity because it is so customer-friendly. So I decided to swing the brush more often for this exact size. The packaged work in the photo has arrived safely in the USA and pleases the owner. > The link shows what else could be in this packaging.

It was fun that interview with Mackenzie from Singulart! - published in the online magazine of Singulart.

It started with an idea in my head. At first I browsed extensively, sketched, teased and already shopped. In summer, the first wall objects will be created - the main elements will be wood and my abstract painting, so the plan.

The object became a sculpture ... with abstract painting, wood, accessories (real brush and realistic painted brush) and a certain spatial depth.

Composer, Producer and somehow the main actor ... I made a video of how the picture "Wonderful Dreamworld XXL 1" was made.

Fortunately, Singulart came to me. A fresh and still young art platform with an art philosophy that goes far with my own. From now on I am also represented there.                                    > to Singulart                                   octoberr 2018

Midsummer is already over - from the first half of 2018, two creative innovations are important to me:

Waterfall, Worldmap & Co:
In abstract landscape painting and maritim painting I have found great new motifs and thereby implemented a kind of abstraction, which go energetic with lots of motivation by the hand.

Slim:
The slim, elegant new large format has an edge length of approx. 200 cm and the second side varies between approx. 65 and 85 cm. And they have such a pleasing expressiveness !!

I found these two in my advent calendar .......-

They are also a reason to say thank you for a great painting year. So many people have said yes to a painting from me -  a picture even went to Hong Kong. My joy is very great because it gives me the opportunity to create new paintings.

2 interesting days full of creative art: 13 art studios of Holm 35  open their doors - of course my double door will be open, too.  A few paintings can be seen - it is a great opportunity to talk with people about art where art is born. Apart from painting, there are also studios where jewelery, textiles,mosaic and more can be discovered. Here you can find everything from big fine things to small colorful things, As a highlight the author Ulli Borchers reads some short storys  - written in Flensburg.

                                          November 2017

Warm and yellow: my small painting series "Sunny Nature". I like to work with this fascinating abstract motif  and am happy about ever new expressions. > More

 Juli 2017

The selection is getting bigger and bigger ... I was delighted to be able to correct the number of paintings of more than 300  (good feeling ..!).

But:  my painting storage is full.

And now I have found the enlarged "nest" for the paintings, even de luxe: ground level.

Yeah!

April / Easter 2017

I am going to be a chronicler: from now on, the gallery 2017 will be the place where all the works of this year will be collected. A variety of colors and sizes that will grow ... welcome to the current works.

Feb 2017

..the UK, Dubai, Mexico, Australia or Estonia ... Today I have a mountain envelopes ready for the post office.

My English-speaking customers will receive mail in the next few days: a postcard depicting Nottrott paintings. It is a thank you - linked to the reference to my English website.

Nov 2016

2 interesting days: My studio in the artists' community of Holm 35 also opens its doors during the studio days of Flensburg.  A few paintings can be seen - it is a great opportunity to talk with people about art where art is born. Apart from painting, there are also studios where jewelery, textiles,

mosaic and more can be discovered.

My new M-format is up to 1 square meter -
For example I might use a canvas of say 120 x 85 cm. The painting of these formats is quite exciting, as if the artwork paints itself ... this way of working makes painting fun.

This format flatters any empty wall … The photo shows Summerfeeling M 2 hanging above a sofa.

Done! It’s online .... my own English website at www.abstractpaintingsnottrott.com

With 60% of my sales now going to international buyers, it makes perfect sense to offer English speaking art lovers a website of their own.
