Exhibition in the Town Hall of Kempen

Artikel der Rheinischen Post vom 2.8.

Ein wuchtiges Feuerwerk von Farben und Emotionen

Wer in den nächsten Wochen ins Rathausfoyer tritt, begegnet einer wahren Farbexplosion. Bis zum  21. August stellt dort die Kempener Künstlerin Beate Blume ihre Bilder aus. Ihre Themen sind so vielfältig wie ihre Farbwahl. Es gibt  Ansichten aus der Stadt zu sehen – kein Wunder, ist sie doch Kempenerin. Sie hat am Thomaeum ihr Abitur gemacht und arbeitet als Lehrerin am Luise-von-Duesberg-Gymnasium. Allerdings nicht im künstlerischen Bereich. Das war einfach schon immer eine Leidenschaft von ihr, erzählt sie. Als Kind hat sie bereits gerne gemalt. Später wurde die Kunst ein guter Ausgleich zur Arbeit und zur Familie mit vier Kindern.

„Bei mir gibt es immer den kräftigen Druck auf die Farbtube”, sagt sie lächelnd. Wie sie überhaupt sehr viel Lebensfreude ausstrahlt. Das zeigt sich dann auch in den Bildern. Es gibt eine ganze Anzahl von Tierbildern zu sehen. Dabei geht es aber nicht so sehr um naturgetreue Abbildung, sondern vielmehr um ihre eigenen Emotionen, die sich in die Bilder einschleichen. Also darf ein Nashorn schon einmal in Blautönen auf dem Bild erscheinen. Eine ganze Eisbärenfamilie tummelt sich auf einem Bild und scheint den Betrachter zum Mitspielen einzuladen. Oder ein Rehkitz schaut mit verträumten riesengroßen Augen den Zuschauer an. Ein Fuchs hat sich stattdessen verträumt wohlig eingerollt.

Solche sanften Augenblicke gibt es häufiger. Eine Dame schaut in die Landschaft,  oder ein Junge sitzt mit seinem Hund am Meer,  und beide blicken ganz entspannt in die Weite. Eine Eule schwingt sich durch die Luft. Bei vielen Bildern entspinnt sich beim Betrachter eine Art Kino im Kopf, so intensiv wirken sie.  Manchmal sind es Fotos, die sie inspirieren, sagt Blume. Oder Bilder, die in ihrem Kopf entstehen. Ganz neu ist für sie die Entdeckung der abstrakten Malerei. Auch dies wieder Feuerwerke von Farbe und Emotionen.Der Beginn ihrer Malerei waren die Bilder von Kempen. Da finden sich die Kirchen wie Propsteikirche oder Thomaskirche. Aber auch zum Beispiel auch ein Brautpaar, das auf dem Weg zum Traualtar in der St.-Peter-Kapelle ist. Auch der berühmte Sohn der Stadt Thomas auf seinem Denkmal ist zu sehen. Aber bei ihr wirkt er gar nicht so ernst und streng wie auf seinem Denkmal, sondern eher als sanfter Denker.

Für Blume ist das Malen zwar ein Hobby neben Beruf und Familie, trotzdem möchte sie ihre Kunst viel mehr Menschen zugänglich machen. Deshalb wird sie auch im Oktober diesen Jahres an der renommierten Kunstmesse „The Other Art Fair” in London teilnehmen. Vier Tage lang wird sie dort ihre Werke zeigen und wie sie hofft, auch einiges davon verkaufen. Abgesehen davon wird der Messeaufenthalt sicherlich wieder für einige neue Inspirationen sorgen.

St.-Peter-Stift

Exhibition with Beate Blume
Kempen. KEMPEN (RP) There will be a new exhibition in St. Peter-Stift. from Sunday January 28th, Beate Bume's paintings are to be seen in the foyer and the cafe of the home for the elderly in  Auguste-Tibus-Straße 9. The Acrylic paintings of the artist from Kempen can be seen for three months up to the end of April. As it usually does, the series of art exhibitions in St. Peter-Stift is set up with contrasts.
After the lovely, tongue-in-cheek drawings from Jürgen Pankarzthe contrast could not have been bigger.
Beate Blume has a colorful, powerful and expressive painting style. The autodidactic painter loves painting sights of Kempen but also animals and landscapes. Carefully resembling their naturalistic subjects but in the most vivid colours, expressing imaginative power and a joy of life.
Whereas Pankarz's sometimes sardonic sense of humour and all too human subjects are expressed in his works, the teacher takes us to familiar views that are re-created in a different light and in her very own style that makes the viewer curious.
Beate Blume creates upbeat paintings without relinquishing depth.
