Opening of the solo exhibition with welcome and musical accompaniment by Andreas Hurtig (piano) and Jörg Petermann (double bass).

Steven Black studied painting with Arno Rink at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts (HGB), where he now teaches painting himself. In his paintings, the Australian artist works on recurring motifs: space and people in space. While architecture usually remains in the background in Black's works, hinted at with only a few lines, it takes center stage for the first time in his exhibition "Treppenhausbilder." In his large-scale oil paintings, Black examines a place that no longer exists in this way. The pictorial space is opened up in the play of light and shadow, which underscores the artist's subjective perspective. It is a tribute to the shape of a building with its history and to the remembering and disappearance of space in time.
