Encrypted art: Claus Pabst presents secret writing in court

Next week, the Celle Higher Regional Court will be the venue for a fascinating art exhibition. The Celle artist Claus Pabst, known for his creative approaches and unconventional methods, presents fascinating works under the title “So.Wie.Als If.” from Monday, July 7th to August 22nd. The opening begins at 11 a.m. and is accompanied by an introduction by the artist Dorothea Stockmar, who is also closely connected to the Higher Regional Court, having celebrated her own exhibition there in January 2024 entitled “BELIEVE – LOVE – HOPE”.

What makes the artist Claus Pabst so special? He does not simply see himself as a traditional painter, but rather sees himself as a designer who works with his painterly means to express his thoughts and secrets. A special highlight of his works is the specially developed “Secret Writing with Colors”, through which he depicts words and word combinations in colored geometric shapes. This unconventional type of visual language invites viewers to engage more intensively with the content and embark on a journey of decoding.

Art as public space and social interaction

Art in public spaces has steadily increased in importance in recent years. It not only serves as an aesthetic enrichment of the cityscape, but also strengthens the sense of community. How Culture Lab describes, art is a catalyst for social interactions and enables cultural reflection. Whether graffiti or large-scale murals, these works of art create awareness of the importance of public spaces and invite people to consciously perceive the space. This is also one of the goals of Claus Pabst's works, which stimulate thought through their unusualness and mysterious character.

The Celle Higher Regional Court has taken on an important role in this regard. The rooms offer a unique setting for changing art exhibitions, which not only enrich the art scene in Celle, but also make a significant social contribution. Numerous exhibitions have taken place in recent years, giving artists from the region the opportunity to present their works to a wide audience.

Dorothea Stockmar and her stimulating works

Back to Dorothea Stockmar, whose exhibition in the Higher Regional Court also received a lot of attention. Her works, which were created over 18 years, address the ability of grief to transform into hope. Stockmar's art not only gives visitors reason to think about central human themes, but also shows how diverse forms of expression in art can be. As Christine Siewerin, the manager of the Higher Regional Court, emphasizes, Stockmar's work contributes significantly to the cultural landscape in Celle.

The exhibitions in the Higher Regional Court are open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and invite you to promote encounters with art in these official spaces.

All in all, it remains to be said: Regardless of whether you are interested in Claus Pabst or Dorothea Stockmar, it is ultimately about experiencing and understanding the interplay between art and public space. Whether through the colorful geometric shapes of Pabst or the profound questions of Stockmar - the encounter with art encourages an active dialogue and enriches life in Celle immensely.
