Never before has such a monumental work been on display at the Emder Kunsthalle as the painting “Beyond the void” by artist Jan Pleitner. Under the German title of the same name, “Jenseits der Leere” (“Beyond the void”), several works by the artist, who lives in East Frisia, have recently been on display – the main work, measuring 3.70 by 7.40 meters, fills one wall in the atrium.The abstract colorful painting was made especially for the exhibition on a canvas in the empty hall of a shipping company in Emden and delivered in its entirety by truck, according to the Kunsthalle. To bring the work into the museum, the window of a side entrance was removed.
