In its exhibition, Galerie Handwerk would like to present a large, lush bouquet of flowers through which visitors can stroll and enjoy. Transience is overcome, the virtuosity of nature's imitation can be followed in wonder. From the various stages of flowering, from the fully blossomed flower, to the fading with discolouration and detachment of the leaves, each flower presents a constantly new appearance, subject to transformation and transitoriness – each with its own unique aesthetic component.
International artists and craftsmen devote themselves to the theme of the flower in their materials glass, ceramics, metal, paper, textiles, wax and in the areas of fashion and jewellery, and recreate the natural model faithfully or in variations. The beauty of nature is subjected to the respective aesthetic conception and the will to design, so that a variety of very different positions can be observed.
