Art - Design - Craft
Anyone who travels to the industrial area expects a lot, but that's not what you expect: a company that is fully committed to art and culture with creative workshops in the fields of creative art, design workshops, painters' and sculptors' artstudios, scenery workshops, Graphic workshop and art print, exhibition and gallery.
And you're right in the middle of Patrick Riefer-Kraus atelier. Born in Chiemgau, he moved to Rothenburg in 2004 and has since found his home in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. He tends to understate when he talks about the "atelier".
In any case, the interested visitor will be surprised, because you just don't expect that! What it means to visit a workshop can only be experienced by those who go there. But don't get lost, you'll probably never be found again. It's always exciting, because when do you have an insight into the process behind the art.
Here you enter an unknown, because mostly invisible, world of creative work. Different focal points form independent workshops, all of which have one thing in common: enriching the art and cultural landscape. Not least through exhibitions and campaigns in-house and being a contact point for special wishes, ideas and requirements. Juliane Sander's jewelry workshop can now also be found in the rooms at no5, as it is very modestly called.
Crafts and art
"Coming from the crafts, as an artist I am a craftsman and as a craftsman you are sometimes also an artist and so over the years a wide range of services has developed around the question of sophisticated design, creative art, lüft´l and illusion painting, Graphics and design educated. And of course I'm particularly pleased when creative ideas and workshops come here, connect and expand the whole thing." says the artist Patrick Riefer-Kraus, forgetting the scenery construction and the printing workshop.
And you can feel it, the portrait in painting and sculpture and free painting is his passion, just as diverse as nature, it shows in his sometimes humorously pointed result.
In the atelier/artstudio, which is divided into different workshops, the center of which is the kitchen and a well-stocked wine cabinet, living fine art and design are created in individual and custom-made products. But also series and limited editions in different techniques of graphic and plastic art, which can be seen regularly in exhibitions, but also in the atelier itself.
Coupled with a unique performance profile of craftsmanship and art, imaginative worlds of experience are created for private and business environments, with the full range of techniques from illusion painting, scenery construction and wood design being available and opening up possibilities that rarely come together in this way.
But who is the customer?
"Private customers, companies, medium-sized companies, museums, churches, gastronomy and hotels, actually everyone who is looking for creative, independent, special solutions or just needs an artist for their task." says the artist. And so, with talent and a wealth of ideas, a wide world of fine art is depicted for the highest standards in painting, sculpture and graphics.
And with that, design services for furnishing concepts, individual furniture and design drafts, concept drafts and drafts for shop design, private and business premises round off the offer. A strong network of excellent craftsmen that has grown over the years is also available here if several hands are needed.
The printing workshop also offers the opportunity to offer reproductions of the highest quality for collections and museums, but also for private use and photography.
Art and design in perfect craftsmanship and execution, in the spirit and tradition of the Bauhaus, the merging of art and craft, lived honestly.
We are enthusiastic and looking forward to the next visit and the next exhibition.
