MICHAEL SAZARIN
STORM OF COLORS
Sazarin confronts different things. He faces usual and unusual colors and techniques. And the results are often so confusing that you always must look at the paintings again.

STORM OF COLORS
Sazarin confronts different things. He faces usual and unusual colors and techniques. And the results are often so confusing that you always must look at the paintings again.
Sazarin paints uncompromisingly. He paints subjectively without consideration for losses and public taste.
His paintings are impulsive, expressive and visionary. Impulsive, because they originate from confused impulses, consciously and unconsciously. Sazarin likes to speak of controlled chance, because he does his work spontaneously and improvises and likes to be surprised by what colors do to him and at last to ensemble compositional structures.

AND THE MANIFESTO OF CRYPTOREALISM
The artist Davood Roostaei is an intermediary between Orient and Occident. He is a native of Iran who lived for many years in Europe and who has been a resident of California for the past twenty years. In his works, flows the wisdom inherent in all cultures of the world which, although varying in form, are amazingly similar in essence.
In his paintings Davood Roostaei takes a stand against such problems as hunger, poverty and environmental catastrophes which threaten humanity in this century and from which we cannot run away, but must actively work to prevent them. In view of the terrorism and escalating violence throughout the world, he appeals for an effort to be made to find ways of reconciliation among nations and religions.
For Davood Roostaei, art is an expression of life, the positive force which strengthens us in our will to leave this planet to our descendants in a better condition than that in which we found it.

WERNER ERLACHER
WE
WE
Werner Erlacher is an artist for himself, a loner, maybe a solitary person. He consistently goes his own way, he doesn’t follow any school, any trend, any direction, or any party, but he follows his own destiny. Nothing can distract him from his inner way, neither praise nor criticism. At the beginning of his artistic career, he was living in Erlangen. Then, he withdraw himself in a village in Upper Franconia to work in peace, away from the commercialized art world, on its artistic perfection.

RETROSPEKTIVE 1965-2005, IM GEWAND DER KUNST
(RETROSPECTIVE 1965-2005, IN THE CONTEXT OF ART)
Heavy sounds are not her art. But she pursues her goal of life persistently and intensively. Brigitte Simon’s self-standards are high and she has become aware of them only gradually: The art must be able to formulate knowledge about people and their existence in the present time, knowledge about their situation as creatures with historical awareness and simultaneously, the urge in the future. Anyone who wants to represent such philosophical positions with the means of painting would have to be pretty bold.
