Excerptation of a laudation on the occasion of the opening of an exhibition: "Jolanda Walther shows up from two sides: there are less the two faces like that of the ancient Roman of God Janus, rather there are two aspects of her painting that she needs and uses to satisfy her urge for artistic implementation and to carry it out . On the one hand, she is a very spontaneous painter in her watercolors. Because the difficulty here lies in the idiosyncrasy of the water, the flow of which has to be tamed, but, according to its claim, must be designed as if the motif itself would flow over the paper, like the people who are not static frozen . She captures spontaneous feelings and sensations, it does not produce well -thought -out and constructed pictures. Man is primarily the focus of this work. Whether as an individual, in the group or in the crowd, the artist expresses a wide variety of perceptions and sensations. However, faces are not recognized anywhere, on the one hand they refer to the fleeting encounter with people or people with each other, on the other hand, this anonymization enables everyone that could be this person. The "somewhere seen" is painted as if they just wanted to leave the "en passant" over the sheet with the brush and the color of fleeting traces, as if it had no time to stay longer. This type of painting is reflected For Jolanda Walther our age, everything goes over quickly, you don't have time to stop, the reduction is compressed. Oil painting is the second side of Jolanda Walther. In contrast to the rapid order of the watercolor, she can take time for oil. The color applies layer by layer to the canvas, can improve, the whole thing, even completely, even completely. She doesn't need to be afraid to do something wrong here, at any time she can correct the image. You relax, think after - she meditates (Exhibition with pictures Jolanda Walther in Kleinniedesheim Castle / introduction Paul Platz, Kultur-KV RPK)
