Medium: mixed media on painting board

Description: This work marks the beginning of the interdisciplinary exhibition 'The Journey,' which took place in Munich in 1992 and united painting, music, and dance into a holistic art project. As the first exhibit, it holds a central position within the cycle and reflects the conceptual depth of Oberhuemers' work during this phase.

The composition is characterized by dynamic, organically appearing forms rendered in bold earth tones, reds, and greens. A central oval motif with a red outline serves as the visual anchor point and conveys a sense of movement, transformation, and inner journey – themes that define Oberhuemer's work during this period. The textured surface and expressive brushwork create a tactile depth that immediately engages the viewer.

The back documents the origin clearly and refers to the original presentation within the framework of the art project. Since the exhibition 'Die Reise' has not yet been publicly documented and no further references exist online, the work gains additional historical and collector's value. The complete brochure for the exhibition is available and can be provided as proof of provenance.
