Bremen-born painter Katrin Ullmann lives and works in Valais, Switzerland. Her oil paintings and watercolors of the Swiss mountains show the diverse beauty of the Alpine region with its striking peaks and sharp ridges, green valleys and clear mountain lakes.
Here, where the landscape rises several thousand meters into the sky, clouds and mountain peaks combine to form an overwhelming unity, creating unique colors and light conditions. But the painter also captures individual lake landscapes in Finland and Norway and cloudy skies in northern Germany.
The exhibition is complemented by landscape paintings by Fritz and Hermine Overbeck from around 1900, which – besides some northern German landscapes – focus on the Swiss mountains as well. Because what hardly anyone knows is that Fritz Overbeck spent several weeks painting near Davos in the winter of 1908/09.
