La inauguración de la exposición veraniega "Signs of Hope" en el Castillo de Dermbach
In the picturesque town of Dermbach, a cultural gem shines bright with the recent opening of the exhibition "Hoffnungszeichen - Schillernde Sommerausstellung." The event, held at the historic Dermbach Castle, showcased the captivating works of contemporary artist Alwine Pompe, who has gained international acclaim for her unique art form, Symbolography.
Alwine Pompe, a resident of Hütchhof, a district of Gerstungen near the western Rennsteig, offers personal guided tours through her exhibition on several days, including July 10th, 19th, 20th, 24th, 31st, and August 3rd and 5th. These tours provide visitors with a rare opportunity to engage in a personal conversation with the artist and examine her exhibited works in detail after the official part.
Symbolography, a term introduced by Alwine Pompe's husband and biggest fan, Volker Pompe, is a technique that involves forming harmonious, ornamental structures from thousands of tiny crosses, fish, spirals, and triangles. These structures are then combined with shiny aluminum foil and colored pencils on wood, creating vibrant, detailed image worlds with Christian symbols and universal signs (pictograms) interwoven.
The exhibition, which runs from July 5th to August 5th, 2025, features an array of these extraordinary works. Notably, Alwine Pompe has used colorful chocolate paper in her creations, adding a unique and delightful twist to her art. Admission to the exhibition is free, and visitors are encouraged to explore the works at their leisure during the regular opening hours.
The vernissage, or official opening, was attended by numerous art enthusiasts and was musically accompanied by Florian Ullmann on guitar, who also recited a small story with his wife. In a personal speech, Volker Pompe praised Dermbach as a lively cultural hub and thanked the community, Mayor Thomas Hugk, and all those involved who made the exhibition possible.
