Exhibiting a Variety of Talents in South Park: 14 Artists Display Individual Flair and Diversity
In the heart of Solingen, Germany, the "Artfully" vernissage brought together a vibrant community of artists, each showcasing their unique artistic style and techniques. The event, held at Atelier Silke Widenka on Alexander-Coppel-Str. 22, attracted numerous visitors who engaged in a lively exchange with the artists.
The exhibition, which runs until August 17, is entirely in the spirit of Silke Widenka's motto: "Art can do more." Silke, the studio director, reopened her painting studio in the South Park for the event. Born in Oer-Erkenschwick in 1967 and living in Solingen for many years, Silke is known for her intricate textile and mixed-media work, often blending natural materials with layered textures. Her art is inspired by nature, organic forms, and the interplay between structure and fluidity.
Many of the exhibitors for the vernissage are "repeat offenders" or regular participants in Silke's courses. The variety of techniques taught in her courses includes pastel chalk, watercolor, acrylic, and more. Her courses are suitable for both beginners and advanced students, and she rarely gives instructions, preferring to guide students towards their own creative journeys.
Among the exhibitors, Gundula Wolf has been participating for over six years. Her five pictures in blue tones reflect her current "blue phase." Structures in her work arise through the use of silk paper or metal foils. Anne Ewald's work "My best friend" was originally planned abstractly but developed into a colorful series.
The vernissage featured works from 14 artists, showcasing a wide range of artistic techniques and individuality. Those who visit the exhibition experience a tangible community where creativity acts as a connecting element. The exhibition is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 6 pm and by appointment.

The artists, each with their own unique backgrounds, offer a rich tapestry of contemporary art rooted in both local and universal themes. Some participants in Silke's courses process personal experiences through their painting, while others enjoy the joy of creating. Uwe Klein finds relaxation and balance through painting after a burnout, and Joachim Rao has been using the painting group for about a year as a creative counterpoint to his profession.
The "Artfully" vernissage in Silke Widenka’s studio is characterized by a collaborative and intimate atmosphere that encourages dialogue among artists and visitors, highlighting how individual styles can coexist and inspire one another.
