An Artistic Journey from Lindau to Ithaca
As part of the series Young Seniors, freelance illustrator and painter Peter Riek invites you to an extraordinary journey and art lecture at the Hans-Rießer-Haus Heilbronn. Under the title Bicycle Journey in 24 Days: Street Drawings and Postcard Songs from Lindau to Ithaca, he combines personal travel experiences with drawing, literature, and poetic observation.
On the Road between Landscape, Line, and Memory
Peter Riek recounts a cycling tour of more than 2,000 kilometers, which took him in 24 days from Lindau at Lake Constance to the Greek island of Ithaca. Accompanied by Homer's Odyssey, a street drawing was created daily along the route. Additionally, the artist sent labeled postcards to his studio in Heilbronn.
Travel Images as Lived Art
The street drawings make movement, landscape, and time immediately visible. From fleeting impressions along the way, Riek developed a multifaceted art project consisting of photographically documented drawings, printed canvases, and personal postcards. This creates a special connection between travel report, visual art, and literary inspiration.
A Cultural Discovery Experience in Heilbronn
The lecture provides insights into the working methods of an artist who attentively perceives his surroundings and translates experiences into an independent visual language. The audience experiences local closeness and Mediterranean distance simultaneously: from the starting point Lindau through changing landscapes and way stations to the mythologically charged island of Ithaca.
Common Afternoon with Coffee and Cake
The event takes place at the Hans-Rießer-Haus and combines cultural enrichment with personal encounter. Coffee and cake create a pleasant setting for exchange, inquiries, and collective reflection on art, travel, and the stories that arise along the way.
