The blue hour goes on tour
First traveling exhibition of Wolf Herondis' series of works at Galerie Franzburg
After its highly acclaimed first presentation at the MV-Kunstgalerie am Mammutbaum in Marlow, it is now beginning its journey through Mecklenburg-Vorpommern:
The extraordinary series of works "The Blue Hour in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" by Wolf Herondis is making its first stop at Galerie Franzburg.
From June 5, 2026 to July 26, 2027, an artistic cycle will unfold there that is far more than a collection of landscape paintings. It is a painterly homage to a moment that everyone knows and yet hardly anyone really captures: the blue hour.
When daylight fades and the world pauses for a moment, pictures full of calm, depth and emotional density are created. Wolf Herondis has captured precisely this fleeting transition in 36 large-format oil paintings, inspired by photographs from all over Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which were created as part of a public call.
But this exhibition is about more than just places.
It tells of togetherness.
Because behind every motif is a person, a photographer, a point of view, a moment that was shared. These moments have resulted in paintings that do not simply depict, but transform. Herondis translates light into mood, reality into emotion and gives every place a new, almost timeless dimension.
The presentation of the series of works in Franzburg is deliberately conceived as an experience:
Original photography and painted work enter into a silent dialog and invite visitors to become part of this transition themselves.
A special highlight accompanies the exhibition:
A high-quality illustrated book has been published in bookshops to accompany the series of works, bringing together the entire series in impressive form (ISBN: 978-3819205484). This will be available on site during the exhibition. At the vernissage on June 6, 2026 at 2 p.m., the artist will personally sign the copies and, if desired, provide them with an individual dedication.
Visitors can expect an exhibition that doesn't have to be loud to have a long-lasting effect.
An exhibition that changes the way you look at things.
And perhaps even the moment.
