Ocean of longing - art exhibition in Detershagen

We often become aware of our wishes and desires during a walk by the sea, as Susanne Pohlmann did. She has expressed this in this series and would like to inspire us too. A series of water paintings - it sounds so harmless, but what confronts us here is a churning sea, a mighty river powerfully making its way through the landscape. Her acrylic paintings, some of which are large-format, are not naturalistic depictions of what the artist sees, but rather express the effect they have on her own feelings. Expressive and moving - these are probably the adjectives that best describe her works. Be it the roaring spray that washes around the rocks, or the stones themselves, which seem to glow from within. Rhythm and movement, perhaps also a skill from her time as a dancer, make the pictures exciting and captivate the viewer.

"Ocean of Longing" in Detershagen - water as an emotional expression

In Detershagen, not far from the Mecklenburg Baltic coast, Susanne Pohlmann is showing large-format acrylic paintings in her "Ocean of Longing" series, which make the sea visible in all its emotional power. Created from personal experiences while walking by the water, these works are not a naturalistic depiction of the coast - they are an expression of the inner feelings that the sea awakens in us.

Expressionist seascapes between spray, rock and movement

What awaits the viewer is a churning sea, powerful currents and rocks that seem to glow from within. Susanne Pohlmann's works are expressive and moving - adjectives that aptly describe her artistic work. As a former dancer, she brings rhythm and movement to her pictures, which literally cast a spell over you. The Baltic Sea region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, known for its impressive coastal landscapes from Rügen to Fischland-Darß-Zingst and Usedom, provides a powerful backdrop.

Art on the Baltic Sea - inspiration from the sea

The series invites you to discover your own desires and longings in dialog with the pictures. Anyone visiting the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast and looking for cultural experiences away from the beach and nature will find a quiet but haunting artistic encounter with the sea in Detershagen.
