Botanical Art in Germany

In September 2009 the first gallery for botanical art in Germany was founded by Sylvia Peter (botanical artist) and Michael Junginger (forest scientist). The gallery represents a variety of international botanical artists working in different media.

Watercolors, oil and acrylic paintings, photographs and plant objects are presented. Artists from Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Italy, Austria, the USA and Japan show their works in thematic exhibitions.

Upcoming Exhibition:

Der Ort an dem ich lebe – The place where I live
2.9 – 5.9.2023

With Lucilla Carcano and Sylvia Peter, two artists have found each other who seek their treasures on their doorstep. One in Liguria, the other at home in Franconia and the Allgäu, they walk with alert eyes through the nature in their surroundings and elevate leaves and tufts of grass to the subjects of artworks. Lucilla Carcano's watercolors on paper or vellum are characterized by the finest rendering of leaf veins or budding twigs. Like small amulets, she portrays the gifts that the wind, the earth, and the sea place at her feet. Sylvia Peter shows grass and flowers in their natural habitat. Rain-crushed blossoms and fruit, grasses in the snow or liverworts on the steep slope fill her paintings in acrylic on wood and on vellum and let us climb and shiver for a moment with the plants.
