Surreal Metamorphoses at the Stöckheim Community Center: Michael Porzelt Shows Art Full of Transformation

Surreal Metamorphoses: When Airbrush, Painting, and Beetle Images Become a Poetic Art Experience

In the community center of the evangelical-lutheran parish of Braunschweig-Stöckheim, an exhibition unfolds that sharpens the perception of transformation: Surreal Metamorphoses showcases airbrush works and paintings by Michael Porzelt in an open, culture-friendly space. The presentation connects surreal imagery with illustrative precision and invites a deep exploration of the works. The exhibition is free and spans several dates between June 29 and August 10, 2026.

Between Illustration and Free Painting

Michael Porzelt studied graphic design with a focus on illustration at FH Hildesheim-Holzminden and has been working for a long time with acrylic painting, textures, and structures. The impulse for the series Surreal Metamorphoses originated from Bernhard Klausnitzer's book Wonder World of Beetles; from this, Porzelt developed surreal image ideas that combine airbrush and mixed techniques with acrylic paintings on canvas and wooden panels.

Image Spaces Full of Metamorphosis

The works open up an intermediate space of nature observation, imagination, and craftsmanship precision. Beetles, wings, shells, and organic forms transform into multi-layered compositions in which the smooth precision of airbrush meets painterly density. Thus, an exhibition emerges that is simultaneously sensual, knowledgeable, and slightly enigmatic.

A House that Holds Art

The community center at Kirchenbrink 3C is considered a good exhibition venue with a large hall and an attached cafeteria; regular concerts, readings, theater performances, and cultural events take place there. For visitors, this creates a calm, clear exhibition atmosphere that focuses attention on form, color, and surface. The address is in Braunschweig-Stöckheim, well integrated into the cultural life of the district. ([kircheinstoeckheim.de](https://www.kircheinstoeckheim.de/gemeinde/gemeindehaus))
