With special presentations by the award-winning artists Hyun-JIN Kim from Taiwan and Cleo Wilkinson from Australia. They each received the first jury prize for mixed media and print graphics in 2019 and an integrated solo exhibition as a reward:
The gallery in the town hall of the very lively district of Kalk is a well-known art center in Cologne. High quality art exhibitions regularly take place there and it is a well-attended art center, partly thanks to the various advanced evening courses that take place there almost every day. See also the whole tour of the exhibition below! The exhibition was extended due to the Corona crisis. The images could be viewed until July 28, 2020.

The focus of this special small-format exhibition is once again on award winners and finalists, with invited guests also taking part. Many exhibiting artists are featured in our books “Excellent Art” and “Kunstretreat 2019”, which we also present in the exhibition:
Ai-Wen Wu Kratz, Gerhard Rasser, Gerhardt Gallagher, Takanori Iwase, Yvonne Welman, Ana Galvão, Bie Flameng, Maud du Jeu, Rowena Božič, Sophia Koopman, Derwin Leiva, Ivana Gagić Kičinbači, Cinla Seker, Ann Dunbar, Kurt Ries, R. Geoffrey Blackburn, Valentina Anopova, Ping He and Jani Jan J.
The event is accompanied by the lyrical presentation of the hosts: Gabriele Walter is once again presented with haiku poems, that are fitting for the topic “Traveling”. About 60 haiku poems are sealed in foil and attached to the railing of the gallery.
Welcome to our exhibition tour:
We have the pictures largely sorted by colors and embedded in our meditative concept “relaxation with art and color”. It begins in the hallway with “colorful”, followed by black-white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
