Peripheries 4.12.2025 – 11.1.2026 in the Gondwana Gallery
The show “Peripheries” presents a selection of drawings and pastels created in India between 2010 and 2025. The Indian subcontinent has fascinated and inspired Torsten Schlüter for over 30 years and exerts a special influence on his artistic work.
“When asked why he was always drawn to India, he once replied, programmatically as it were: “India is a time tunnel full of contrasts and cultural diversity, with a different understanding of space and time and everyday encounters with archaic figures and processes in a sea of color. …
His chalk drawings on tinted paper are a particular treasure, the rich variety of motifs from the actual theme of “women at the well”, drawing water, carrying jugs, all of them memorable, lively signs of natural balance”
Hans M. Schmidt, art historian, Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn
