The Kleve artist Gitta van Heumen-Lucas (born 1936) and Andrea Anatas (born 1959), who lives in Hamburg, belong to different generations. They each work with different materials and artistic techniques. Each of them refers to the concept of time in the jointly chosen title in their own way. The appeal of the exhibition just time lies in the tension between the two artistic positions that enter into a dialogue here.
For many years, Van Heumen-Lucas has consistently pursued an approach that is committed to concrete and conceptual trends in art. Her theme is space. Temporality comes into play above all through the viewers, who constantly gain new perspectives from the works through their movements in space. Anatas, on the other hand, focusses on painting. In her works, temporal aspects of the painting process become a creative moment, such as the flow of colour in her current series influx A II Lab. In the exhibition just time, conceived by the artists themselves, each of them has their own space. In addition, Andrea Anatas and Gitta van Heumen-Lucas are showing joint works for which they have chosen different forms of collaboration. Their artistic dialogue includes jointly conceived double works, to which each of the two has contributed a part, and works on which both have worked together.
