What I am looking for

On 5 October 2016 my solo exhibition “What I am looking for” opened at the Galerie Freiraum 16 in Munich-Giesing. Portraits in all formats and techniques were the main theme – works spanning figuration and abstraction. Most of the roughly eighty visitors were coming to the gallery for the first time; its indoor and outdoor spaces lend themselves wonderfully to art.

“It is the interplay of exuberant dynamism, even restlessness, and the recapturing and embedding of the act of painting in ordered, calm waters that makes Petra Amtsberg’s pictures so special.”
