The colors in Gönül Sen-Menzel’s pictures really leap out at the viewer. Landscapes and bodies rise from a universe of luminous tones. After a longer phase of conception, her works are created on canvas in quick strokes with a large brush and watery acrylic, conveying the impression that the resulting forms are in gently flowing motion. Gönül Sen-Menzel’s works can be seen from February 17 to March 15 at the Schwarzbach Galerie, Schwarzbach 174.

The artist came to Germany in 1981 and studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. The Cologne-based artist illustrated a Turkish-German children’s book series for the educational publisher Anadolu and is currently working on her doctorate while lecturing in Paderborn.

The exhibition opens on Sunday, February 17, at 3 p.m. with an introduction by Jutta Höfel. The gallery is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 to 7 p.m. or by appointment.
