Creative revelations: autistic artists show their souls in nastätten

in the small town of Naststätten, in the regional museum in Schulstrasse, develops an extraordinary exhibition from October 18, 2024 to February 28, 2025! Artists and residents of the Scheeren Foundation present breathtaking self -portraits of their thoughts and emotions. The focus here is not on the perfection of technical skills, but an absolutely honest insight into the soul world of the creators. A real treasure chest of the artistic expression is waiting to be discovered!

In front of one of the pictures you are at first at a loss-a chaotic accumulation of numbers and rough geometric shapes. But the team leader of the Scheeren Foundation, Anja Dietrich, throws light into the dark: "An autistic man painted that, it is his world ..." This statement transforms the supposedly meaningless work into a touching insight into the inner world of the artistic creator. Memories of the film "Rain Man" are awake - a fascinating portrait about autistic people and their special talents. As in the film, there is a completely different meaning of the works of art that captivate the viewer and leave him behind with the question: What did the artist really think?

art with importance

Every work of art expresses a story-whether happy, powerful or melancholic. The real charm of the exhibition is that the visitor is invited to find his own interpretation or to ask the artists directly. For the curious people who want to take home a piece of these deep emotions, there is the opportunity to purchase the pictures for a donation. But be careful! You can hardly measure the real value of these creative forms of expression in money, because they are much more than just pretty wall decoration - they are windows in the souls of their creators!
