Nature Studies brings together two gallery artists who dedicate their art to the con- templation of nature. Highly divergent in their approach, Schmückle delving into high realism while the Gleiwitz’s images are deeply abstracted, their mutual engagement with this subject speaks to their shared admiration for the natural world. Exploring their individual experience of the sublime, whether through flurries of fantastical flora or by unveiling the essence of plein air encounters, their art is focused on revealing nature‘s mysteries.

Since the beginning of his career, Schmückle has been consistently interacting with art history as well as with flora and fauna of faraway places. And yet, his creations do not come from nature but from the artist’s mind. The exhibition shows around 30 works oscillating between finely painted hyperrealism, precise observations of nature and a rich power of imagination.
