Hanno Karlhuber’s watercolour, "The Way" leads us on a journey that merges both the physical and the metaphorical. The choice of watercolour is significant here, as it allows Karlhuber to capture the subtle gradations of light and atmosphere. The way the pigments blend and bleed into the paper gives the scene an ethereal quality. The material infuses the artwork with a sense of movement and change, reflecting the transient nature of the subject. The figure, seen from behind, seems to be moving away from the viewer and towards the horizon. He is the archetypical lone traveler who invites us to think about the human condition. It's not just about the destination but about the journey itself, and how that journey is shaped by the materials we use, the choices we make, and the paths we choose to follow.
