Paintings and Ceramics by Ingrid Tadje
The painter, ceramicist, art educator, and art therapist Ingrid Tadje
(born 1940 in Osnabrück) studied at the Municipal School of Applied Arts in Würzburg,
under instructors including Wolfgang Lenz.
The central theme of her art is her love of creation and her exploration of it,
which she conveys through her depictions of a living, breathing natural world.
As a long-standing member of the BBK, she exhibited her extensive body of work
throughout Bavaria in group and solo exhibitions.
She was a regular guest at the Haßberge Studio Days in Königsberg i.B.,
most recently in 2025 at the Bärbel May Studio.
She produced drawings of the objects for the museum’s first publications.
Her intensive engagement with Iranian art, in which flora, fauna, and mythical creatures
are omnipresent as motifs and forms, inspired the artist to incorporate such motifs
into her painting.
This led to the first special exhibition at the Bumiller Collection in its opening year, 1995,
titled “Bulbuliade” – Gathering of the Nightingales.
related to objects from the Bumiller Collection.
The exhibition will be on view from June 7th to September 30th, 2026,
every Saturday and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the University Museum’s studio.
