Surreal Metamorphoses: Michael Porzelt opens a view on a distorted nature
In the community center of the Ev.-Lutheran parish of Braunschweig-Stöckheim, an exhibition unfolds that connects illustration, painting, and surrealism into an intense art experience. Michael Porzelt, a Braunschweig artist and diploma designer with a focus on illustration, presents airbrush works, mixed media, as well as acrylic paintings on canvas and wooden panels. The presentation revolves around metamorphoses, beetles, transformation, and the poetic power of the unusual.

Between Scientific Image and Fantasy
The starting point of the project lies in the engagement with Bernhard Klausnitzer and the book "Wonderworld of Beetles." From this, Porzelt does not develop a sober natural history, but rather a visual condensation full of rhythm, color, and disturbing beauty. The surreal illustrations bring the small into the large, the natural into the image, and the analytical into the sensual.

Airbrush, Acrylic, and the Return to Material
Porzelt describes his free work with acrylic as a return to the analog, illustrative roots. This creates the tension of the exhibition: The technical precision of the airbrush meets the immediacy of texture, structure, and craft gesture. Thus, a consideration of the works emerges that oscillates between controlled surface and vibrant materiality. ([artmajeur.com](https://www.artmajeur.com/michael-porzelt))
A Place for Concentrated Aesthetic Experience
The community center in Stöckheim becomes a space of cultural education for this pre-reporting. The exhibition is free of charge, takes place on several dates between July 27, 2026, and August 10, 2026, and is aimed at art enthusiasts who wish to experience contemporary painting beyond the usual. The atmosphere promises intimacy, tranquility, and the silent pull of a precisely curated presentation.

Conclusion
Surreal Metamorphoses invites you to experience nature as image, image as metaphor, and metamorphosis as an artistic principle. Those interested in illustration, airbrush, acrylic painting, and surreal imagery will find an exhibition with unusual poetic power. A visit is worthwhile live because the full effect of these works unfolds precisely in direct encounters with the art.
