For the first time, the MdbK is dedicating a solo exhibition to the artistic work of Katharina Immekus (*1970). Around 60 works of art from the period 2008 to 2024 provide a representative overview of the artist’s broad stylistic expressiveness. The spectrum ranges from naïve-expressive, factual-realistic paintings to monumental photorealistic linocuts. She succeeds in capturing the reality surrounding her, sometimes melancholically, sometimes cheerfully and sometimes ironically, but always appreciatively and from surprising perspectives. Katharina Immekus' process of finding images, the transfer of her motifs from oil painting to linocuts and from linocuts to oil painting as well as the transformation of her works in different media are an important aspect of the exhibition.
With Immekus, the MdbK is drawing attention to an artist not directly associated with the New Leipzig School, and who represents instead an important solitary artistic position with her many years of work in Leipzig.
