About the exhibit
"Pictures of Life" is an art exhibit presented by Bock Gallery. The art exhibit will feature artwork by Bavarian artists Inge Kellermeier from Plattling, Monika Egger from Waldmunchen, Karl-Heinz Irber from Waldmunchen and Hessen artist Margit C. Drescher from Dannstadt.
Artist Irber is hesitant to provide the viewer with any explanation of his creativity, except to say that his work is guided by spirit and flair and that he hopes viewers will be able to feel at home in experiencing his artwork. His powerful, expressive, and abstractly painted canvases deal with figures, landscapes, and primarily paint. Mr. Irber has an extensive exhibition record and is included in many prestigious collections.
Monika Eggert
Monika Eggert was born in 1943 in Waldmunchen/Bavarian Forest. She is married and the mother of 2 children. She has been painting all her life and enjoys all styles of music, particularly the opera, theatre,ballet, and circus. Ms. Eggert is leading a chorus and traveling with her husband through the world. She is fascinated and inspired by the people she meets on her journeys, their faces, their fates, and she loves all animals, especially cats and the variety and beauty of nature. She also enjoys the subject of still life, including window manaquins, chairs, kitchenware, and cloth. She also works in the media of pottery, making masks, bowls, and figures in shining colors. Monika's paintings are playful celebrations of people and animals interacting in a colorful world.

Margit paints in her studio in the tower of a castle in Lambsheim, where she is referred to as the tower painter of Rhineland/Palatinate. Her bright paintings of flowers and regional landscapes capture the charm of her surroundings.
