Photography and painting - a contradiction? For Katharina John and Manfred W. Juergens, the two genres complement each other. Our aesthetic sensibilities have been influenced by painting for centuries, while photography has challenged and inspired painting since its invention in the first half of the 19th century.

John and Juergens - with references to great role models and an eye for new things, working analogue in black and white with the camera and in color on the panel. The focus is on the portrait - direct, demanding and disturbing. Photography and painting - reflections of our being.
