written and painted music
For years I have wanted to write like William Turner paints, like Chopin, John Coltrane and Miles Davis compose and make music. There is something about bringing the completeness of the feeling, the sky, the space, the surround. It is an above and beyond overboarding im-precision or perhaps it is hitting the notes and tones just so, a kind of free style playing of compositions not necessarily seen or spoken but felt, intuited, - defintely spatial. Color Writing is this attempt are these essays then, accompanied by paintings. Gabrielle von Bernstorff-Nahat
Wir leben zunehmend in einer Welt der Zerrissenheit. Deshalb ist es umso wichtiger die Liebe, das Gemeinsame und das Beisammensein, die Berührung zu kultivieren und zu zelebrieren. Die Idee zum Thema Berühren kam mir während des endlos erscheinenden Lockdowns während Covid 2019 bis 2022. Mir fehlte der Kontakt zu meinen Liebsten, Familie und Freunden. Mir fehlte die Nähe und die Berührung in all seinen endlosen Formen und Facetten. Berührung ist was uns zu sensiblen Wesen macht, es ist dass was unsere tiefe Menschlichkeit ausmacht, ob physisch, emotional, psychisch, seelisch, geistig und spirituell. Dieses Buch enthält geschriebene und gemalte Reflexionen zum Thema. Inspiriert wurden die Arbeiten von Constantin Brancusi's Skulptur Der Kuss, die Umarmung und der Kuss zweier Liebenden gemeisselt aus einem Steinblock. Die Aquarelle sind gemalte Reflexionen. Manchmal sind unsere Berührungen rot, dann wieder blau und weit wie der Horizont, dann wieder gelb oder grün. Jedes Aquarelle hat seine ganz eigene Stimmung. Alle zusammen, auch mit den Essays, zelebrieren die Berührung, das Eins-Sein, die Verschmelzung, die Empathy, das Zusammenkommen und gemeinsame Sein. Ich bin nur durch Dich, das Ich und das Du gehören zusammen. Mögen die geschriebenen und gemalten Reflexionen uns wieder animieren uns gegenseitig zu berühren und zu verstehen. Gemeinsam sind wir stark. Berühren ist das Fühlen, das Sehen und Gesehen werden. Berühren ist Leben.
