NEWS ++ Mo Ganji: ALMOST LOST | 幾乎遺失 – CSR.ART | 07.12.2025-24.01.2026
From 7 December 2025, the CSR.ART Contemporary Show Room will present the first solo exhibition by Berlin-based artist Mo Ganji. Under the title ALMOST LOST | 幾乎遺失, CSR.ART will show a selection of 70 works from Ganji’s single-line series depicting 250 endangered or already extinct life forms. The essentialist works are executed on standard Post-it notes, a medium intended for important notes. For Ganji, it becomes a reminder of what is almost overlooked or even already lost. At the same time, by reducing his medium to a single line, Ganji questions the connection between all beings. Ganji’s solo show in Berlin takes place parallel to the presentation of his complete 8th work group with 250 motifs at the MOORDN Art Fair in Guangzhou (China). The impressive complete work ALMOST LOST | 幾乎遺失 comprises 250 motifs in 99 work groups of hand-drawn serial unique pieces. The work groups are part of the overarching work theme CORE | 核心 | LIFELINE | 生命線. Accompanying this, CSR.ART is showing the Düsseldorf painter Xianwe Zhu in the window cabinet with his iconic series Little Gentleman and a selection of his inner landscapes. The artist, who grew up in China, builds a bridge to Mo […]

NEWS ++ Saâdane Afif – Five Preludes – Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart (Berlin) | 12.12.2025–13.09.2026
From 12 December 2025 to 13 September 2026, the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart in Berlin presents the first institutional solo exhibition of Saâdane Afif in the city. The exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of the work of the interdisciplinary artist, who has lived in Berlin since 2003, featuring the multi-part work The Fountain Archives. This long-term artistic archive project engages with one of the most prominent chapters of 20th-century art history: Marcel Duchamp’s legendary readymade Fountain from 1917. Afif’s installation was generously gifted to the museum by Paul Maenz in 2023. The exhibition presents key works that critically and humorously examine the institution of the art museum and the principle of authorship. Afif’s installations, objects, concerts, and performances draw on works and events from art history, music, and poetry. The long-term project The Fountain Archives began in 2008 with the collection of magazines, catalogues, and books, concluding in 2022 with the publication of an index to Duchamp’s famous urinal. The installation includes 25 song lyrics inspired by the project, contributed by collaborating artists, musicians, and … Continue reading the article on DEEDS.NEWS.

NEWS ++ Rupprecht Geiger – “FARBE – LICHT – ENERGIE” – Emil Schumacher Museum (Hagen) | 08.02.–07.06.2026
From 8 February to 7 June 2026, the Emil Schumacher Museum in Hagen, in cooperation with the Archiv Geiger, Munich, presents the solo exhibition “FARBE – LICHT – ENERGIE” by painter Rupprecht Geiger. Around 70 works from all phases of the artist’s career provide insight into his lifelong engagement with color, light, and geometric forms, and create a previously unseen dialogue with Emil Schumacher, two key figures of post-1945 non-representational art. The exhibition highlights the differing approaches of the two artists: Geiger with the clarity of pure color, Schumacher with expressive gestures. Innovative and ahead of his time, Geiger significantly shaped the art of the second half of the 20th century. Moving away from representational forms was both a conscious choice and a guiding principle. Color remained the central theme of his work, explored through the radical reduction of the support to simple geometric forms, achieving the effect of pure color like no … Continue reading the article on DEEDS.NEWS.

NEWS ++ A new light in Berlin’s urban space: Mischa Kuball’s light intervention at Radialsystem
Since the summer of 2025, anyone walking along Berlin’s Holzmarktstraße along the Spree at dusk will notice a new artistic accent in the urban landscape: on the façade of the Radialsystem, a two-part lettering pulsates with light, breathing and constantly changing. ‘r a d i a l system’. As simple as it is concise, the work describes what it makes visible: the place itself. In doing so, the work touches on a dimension that extends beyond the building. It explores how art in urban spaces can draw attention and create connections. Permanently installed since July 2025, the work of internationally renowned Düsseldorf-based conceptual and light artist Mischa Kuball marks a new moment in the history of the building. According to the artist, this is not a classic commissioned project, but rather an artistic statement that emerged from an ongoing dialogue between Kuball and Matthias Mohr, the artistic director and – since 2024, together with Merit Vareschi – managing director of Radialsystem. The installation can thus be seen as the result of a dialogue about visibility, public space and the spirit of this special … Continue reading the article on DEEDS.NEWS.

Marc Nagtzaam | Sidetracked | Galerie kajetan Berlin | 13.12.2025–31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4890AARTatBerlin | Galerie kajetan Berlin shows from Saturday, 13 December 2025 (Opening: 12.12.) the exhibition “Sidetracked” by the artist Marc Nagtzaam. In “Sidetracked,” Marc Nagtzaam presents a new series of his reduced, rigorously structured visual compositions, where lines, grids, rhythms, and voids function as independent semantic systems. The works operate intentionally between construction and disruption, order and diversion — a controlled detour that compels viewers to reorient their gaze. Nagtzaam’s practice is rooted in repeated markings, accumulations, and overwritings that generate a quiet yet persistent tension. Through this process of “losing and finding” within the pictorial field, a visual logic gradually emerges. “Sidetracked” expands on this principle, showcasing works that are meticulously composed while deliberately maintaining a sense of incompleteness. Opening: Friday, 12 December 2025, 6:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 13 December 2025 until Friday, 31 January 2026 Image caption title: Marc Nagtzaam, Flächen, 2025, Unique Riso print, 42 × 30 cm.

Annette Schröter | Rückblick | Galerie Brockstedt | 29.01.–28.03.2026
until 28.03. | #4888ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt shows from Thursday, 29 January 2026 the exhibition “Rückblick” by the artist Annette Schröter. With the exhibition “Rückblick”, Galerie Brockstedt presents a comprehensive overview of the diverse work of Annette Schröter, one of the most influential figures associated with the Leipzig art scene. The show spans expressive early paintings to the iconic paper cuts that have shaped her artistic identity since 2001. Schröter’s work engages with urban environments, social dynamics, and everyday rituals. Her figurative visual language — sometimes painterly and dense, sometimes sharply graphic — consistently reflects observation, transition, and transformation. Through clear, often unsparing imagery, she explores gestures, movements, and situations that illuminate the relationship between people and their surroundings. The exhibition also highlights the trajectory of an artist whose academic and professional stations — from Hamburg to Halle to Leipzig — have significantly informed her development. Since 2005, Schröter has dedicated herself to the paper cut, establishing a distinctive aesthetic vocabulary recognized far beyond Leipzig. Opening: Thursday, 29 January 2026, 6:00 pm Exhibition dates: Thursday, 29 January until Saturday, 28 March 2026 Image caption title: Annette Schröter, Lektüre (Triptychon), 1996, 3 x 150 x 120 cm, Öl auf […]

Fabian Knecht | Frank | alexander levy | 14.11.–19.12.2025
until 19.12. | #4887ARTatBerlin | Galerie alexander levy currently shows the exhibition Frank by the artist Fabian Knecht. Frank (2025) fills the exhibition space with a crackling and popping sound that is difficult to locate. The source of the sound—hidden behind a wall—comes from bubbles bursting in joint fluid. The work reveals a functional connection that is relevant to all of the exhibits: the physically demanding activity of art handling, which is a prerequisite for art to be receivable at all. For this work, Fabian Knecht regularly visits his chiropractor Frank, who also provides the sound basis for the work.

Michael Jastram + Michael Dressel | Here Today, Gone Tomorrow | Galerie feinart berlin | 04.12.2025-07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4885ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from Thursday, 04. December 2025 the exhibition Here Today, Gone Tomorrow by the artists Michael Jastram and Michael Dressel. The sculptures of Michael Jastram and the desert photographs of Michael Dressel converge in their awareness of the essence of time. The exhibition is an encounter between two close friends in their artistic work, whose paths first crossed 47 years ago at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee, then scattered in different directions during the upheavals of the Berlin reunification period, and finally came together again in 2016. Just as external circumstances shaped their biographies, the sculptures of Michael Jastram and the photographs of Michael Dressel, taken in the North American desert, touch on a common theme: an awareness of the nature of time. One need not recall Hannes Wader’s lyrics to „Heute hier, morgen dort“ (1972) to hear a quiet melancholy about the fleetingness of the moment and the uncertainty of the future in the exhibition title chosen by the artists. Their works prove that there is a special beauty in the silence of this awareness.

Sibylle Bergemann | Das Denkmal | Loock Galerie | 21.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4879ARTatBerlin | Loock Galerie shows from Friday, 21 November 2025 the exhibition “Das Denkmal” by the artist Sibylle Bergemann. LOOCK presents “Das Denkmal” (1975–1986), one of the most significant bodies of work by German photographer Sibylle Bergemann (1941–2010). Across this long-term documentary series, Bergemann followed the creation of the Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels monument in East Berlin, commissioned by the GDR government and inaugurated in 1986. Her images capture the process with a precise and subtly ironic documentary approach, marked by ambiguity, distance and a keen observational lens. The exhibition runs in parallel with the presentation Le Monument at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. A selection from the series was also shown at Paris Photo 2025, positioning the work within a broader international discourse. A publication accompanying the exhibition has been released by Kerber Verlag (eds. Frieda von Wild, Lily von Wild & Sonia Voss). It includes both iconic and previously unpublished photographs, as well as an extensive historical and critical reception of the work from the 1980s to today. Essays expand on historical, sociopolitical and photographic theory perspectives, reframing “Das Denkmal” as a landmark project at the intersection of art, ideology and collective memory. […]

until 10.01. | #4883ARTatBerlin | KLEMM’S shows from 21. November 2025 the exhibition Barometer of Self-Optimization by the artists Nassim L’Ghoul and Stefanie Schwarzwimmer. Klemm’s presents Barometer of Self-Optimization, a video programme featuring works by Nassim L’Ghoul (*1997 in Bad Soden) and Stefanie Schwarzwimmer (*1990 in Linz), with screenings at Klemm’s Downstairs. Complementing Sven Johne’s exhibition Eternal 20th Century, the programme explores conceptual links across generations, touching on themes of violence, labour, war, and the uncanny. In his works, Nassim L’Ghoul uses digital and conceptual tools to abstract personal experiences and interweave them with found material. By re-contextualising these fragments, hybrid environments are created that oscillate between the real and the imaginary. Stefanie Schwarzwimmer constructs virtual spaces mixing memories, media, and pop culture, forming satirical reflections on social trends. Her work examines content creation, self-optimization, consumerism, and visual power in a media-saturated world. Opening: Friday, 21. November 2025, 7 to 9 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 21. November 2025 to Saturday, 10. January 2026 Screenings: Saturdays, 12–6 pm and by appointment. Title image caption: Nassim L’Ghoul, ‘Soliloquy’, 2025. Film still.

Ornella Fieres | We measure the Distance | Sexauer Gallery | 21.11.2025-24.01.2026
bis 24.01. | #4878ARTatBerlin | Sexauer Gallery shows from Ftriday, 21. November 2025 the exhibition “We measure the Distance” by the artist Sexauer Gallery. The nucleus of Ornella Fieres’s exhibition We measure the Distance is a photo album from the 19th century. It shows a French family who emigrated to Brazil. The photographs open a view into the past – black-and-white snapshots, preserved as memories. The album is bound in brown leather, the cover embossed with golden initials. We leaf through it. We immerse ourselves in the past. We? – No! An artificial intelligence. For over ten years, the artist has worked with machines, computers, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. Fieres instructed an AI to look at the photographs and interpret them. For years she has been exploring how artificial intelligence perceives images of the past. In doing so, she compares human and machine perception and examines their interaction. Sometimes Fieres manipulates the AI’s perception; sometimes she adopts its perspective and expands her own. Together with the AI, Fieres dives into moments of the past: a search for traces and a work of remembrance in a virtual coworking space. The exhibition presents four groups of works: The Essence of a Moment / Depth […]

until 31.01. | #4881ARTatBerlin | Kuckei + Kuckei shows from Friday, 28. November 2025 the exhibition The minimal input by the artist Ingo Gerken. Ingo Gerken’s series of works entitled ‘Bibliosculptures’ engages in visual dialogue with international book publications on contemporary art history. Temporary object interventions are created in public art libraries, taking place directly in the books and thus establishing contact with the works printed there. This results in a coexistence of object and image, a fusion of perspectives, an associative exchange or a formal-aesthetic leap. At the interface between everyday artistic life and art-historical research, selected books become an expanded space for play and reception: trivial objects encounter significant works of art, shifting the boundaries between discourse and banal reality. Art and art books become accessible from new perspectives. In his photographs, Ingo Gerken creates fleeting sculptural constellations in the field of tension between representation, reference and resistance, which also question the relationship between authorship and artistic appropriation. He always understands the depicted works of art in the context of their journalistic reproduction and sees the open book as a mentally open terrain for poetic expansion or system-critical commentary. The works are sculptural assertions and contextual links between […]

Ensemble | Jac Leirner + Rafa Silvares | Esther Schipper | 14.11.–18.12.2025
until 18.12. | #4880ARTatBerlin | Galerie Esther Schipper shows from Friday, 14. November 2025, the exhibition Ensemble by the artists Jac Leirner and Rafa Silvares. Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Ensemble, bringing together works by Jac Leirner and Rafa Silvares. The exhibition marks Silvares’s first and Leirner’s third with the gallery. The year Silvares was born some hundred kilometers inland, Leirner completed her artistic education; decades later, Silvares would study at the same institute in São Paulo. Continuing their rich correspondence, the exhibition is a result of the artists’s exchange within each other’s universes. Taking the habit to pick up, sketch, and keep quotidian items as a point of departure, the artists’s dialogue echoes a Benjaminian ode to collecting. A new iteration of Leirner’s groundbreaking work, Hip Hop (1998/2025), extends along the exhibition space’s walls. Held in the Solomon R. Guggenheim collection, Hip Hop has been presented in eight institutions across continents. For this presentation, Leirner has produced a new version of the historic piece, adding a motif, “scratch,” a sequence of four parallel, diagonal bars. The installation, while paying homage to Piet Mondrian’s penultimate painting Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942–43), takes its name from the unruly beats that jumped from New […]

Shuji Hijiya | Innige Landschaften | Galerie mutare | 27.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4877ARTatBerlin | Galerie mutare shows from thursday, 27. November 2025, the exhibition “Innige Landschaften” the exhibition Shuji Hijiya. Shuji Hijiya (1942–2018) was a Japanese painter who spent most of his life in Germany. After his first exhibitions in the 1970s, he withdrew from the art world to continue working in complete seclusion. Many of his works remained unseen until his death – paintings that are only now coming to light, decades after they were created. Born in Japanese-occupied China in 1942, the painter first studied sociology in Tokyo before moving to Vienna and later to Germany. Over the course of decades, he developed his own unique, Western-influenced visual language in Ostholstein and Berlin. At the same time, his painting remained imbued with a Far Eastern sense of emptiness, time and transience. The exhibition “Intimate Landscapes” invites visitors to discover this work. In his paintings, Hijiya develops a form of still life of the soul: not a naturalistic representation, but a condensation of perception and memory. Opening: Saturday, 29. November 2025, 2 pm.

Galerie Thomas Schulte presents “Rotation”, a group exhibition bringing together eight artists from the gallery’s program. Spanning works from the late 1960s to today, the show highlights the evolving dialogue of formal and system-based approaches across generations. Featuring Richard Deacon, Lena Henke, Franka Hörnschemeyer, Matt Mullican, Leunora Salihu, Fred Sandback, Dan Walsh and Jonas Weichsel, the presentation underscores the intersections of structure, space, materiality and conceptual order. Each position contributes distinct strategies while sharing a focus on the interplay between form and system as organizing principles. The exhibition creates a multifaceted reading of formal thinking – from sculptural volumes to architectural interventions and conceptual system paintings. “Rotation” emphasizes the dynamic exchange among these artistic practices and reflects the gallery’s long-term curatorial trajectory. Opening: Friday, 28 November 2025, 7:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Thursday, 27 November 2025 until Saturday, 7 February 2026 Image caption title: Richard Deacon, “No Black”, 2013, glazed ceramic, 63 x 100 x 67 cm Group exhibition ROTATION – […]

Metropolis! People! Technology! Danger! | Group exhibition | GALERIE STEFAN RASCHE | 21.11.2025-31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4874ARTatBerlin | GALERIE STEFAN RASCHE shows from 21. November 2025 the exhibition Metropolis! People! Technology! Danger!. From 21. November 2025 to 31. January 2026, the gallery will present a group exhibition that, for the first time, brings together works of Modernism from 1920 to 1970 with positions in contemporary art. Under the alarming title “Metropolis! People! Technology! Danger!”—borrowed from a 1966 crime film—the exhibition focuses on urban spaces and architectures, on construction sites, industry, and transportation. This thematic focus has long played a central role in the gallery’s program. The selection of modern works follows this line as well and is displayed in dense arrangement on a large, colorfully designed wall. Paintings, drawings, and graphic works present a wide range of 20th-century depictions of cities and architecture. Pieces from Classical Modernism, Expressionism, and New Objectivity transition into various forms of representational-realistic postwar art. Different viewpoints and moods emerge—from the bustling activity of the metropolis to melancholic scenes of deserted streets and squares. Berlin motifs appear frequently, as many of the featured artists studied, lived, and worked in the city. Means of transportation—cars, airplanes, trains—also become subjects of artistic exploration. Although the collection includes well-known names, a key focus […]

Karl Haendel | Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs | WENTRUP | 08.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4871ARTatBerlin | WENTRUP is currently showing the exhibition ‘Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs’ by artist Karl Haendel. WENTRUP presents Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs, the fourth solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Karl Haendel. Known for his consistent exploration of drawing, the artist uses scale, installation, materiality and photorealism to emphasise the relevance of this medium in contemporary art. In this new series of works, Haendel explores existential themes such as faith, hope, deception and projection. His large-format, detailed drawings focus on collective myths and the fragility of human beliefs. Haendel’s works operate at the intersection of precise technique and emotional intensity. They confront viewers with questions of meaning, truth, and the human longing for redemption. Opening: Saturday, 8 November 2025, 3:00–7:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 8 November 2025 until Saturday, 20 December 2025 Image caption title: Karl Haendel, “Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs”, 2025, (© des Künstlers / Courtesy WENTRUP, Berlin) Exhibition Karl Haendel – WENTRUP | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Ausstellungen Berlin Galerien | ART at Berlin

Adrian Ghenie | Cloud Fever | Galerie Judin (Tankstelle) | 15.11.2025-18.01.2026
until 18.01. | #4872ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin (Tankstelle) shows from 15. November 2025 (Opening: 14.11.) the exhibition “Cloud Fever“ by the artist Adrian Ghenie. In this new body of works, Ghenie examines a society increasingly absorbed by social media and digital routines. Starting from the familiar image of a person eating breakfast while staring at a smartphone, the works address the consequences of excessive screen time: shrinking attention spans, weakened judgment, emotional amplification through algorithms, and the erosion of real-world interaction. The concept of “brain rot,” Oxford’s Word of the Year in 2024, serves as a point of departure for Ghenie’s artistic response. Ghenie himself has never engaged with social media, a position that grants him distance — though not without a certain envy for the effortless digital fluency of younger generations. As in his earlier series, he approaches the subject with quasi-scientific detachment, this time less as a historian and more as an anthropologist observing a new human type: the Homo digitalis. This species commands unprecedented access to information yet retreats into algorithmically curated digital worlds. For Ghenie, digitalization resembles a new ideology — one that simplifies complex realities while simultaneously producing fragmentation and echo chambers. The figures in […]

ARTES Winterausstellung | Group exhibition | ARTES Berlin | 15.11.2025–(to follow)
until (to follow) | #4882ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin shows from Saturday, 15. November 2025 the exhibition ARTES Winterausstellung. The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the encounter between art and fairy tales – a silent journey through the winter season, characterised by light, shadow and delicate narratives between dream and reality. In this special season, familiar fairy tale characters and mythical figures emerge. They symbolise the human longing for light, hope and transformation and open up new perspectives on the poetic side of winter. Between reality and fantasy, a space is created in which art makes the quiet stories of winter visible – stories of memory, longing and wonder. The works of selected artists – including Gerhard Richter, Dagmar Vogt, Albert Hien, Edward B. Gordon and many more – come together in a multi-layered dialogue between light and darkness, transience and transformation. Dagmar Vogt presents bronze sculptures influenced by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Her works take up familiar motifs and translate them into a contemporary, sensually perceptible form. With his light objects, Albert Hien transforms the exhibition spaces into a finely composed interplay of brightness and reflection that dissolves the boundaries between artwork and space. The paintings by […]

Gabriella Giroletti | Among Ripples and Folds | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 21.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4870ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin shows from Friday, 21. November 2025 (Opening: 20.11.) the exhibition ‘Among Ripples and Folds’ by the artist Gabriela Giroletti. Shimmering, iridescent forms that curve, bend, push, squeeze, hold and expand. Brazilian artist Gabriela Giroletti’s latest paintings take the form of shaped surfaces that evoke shards of crystal and stone, earthly textures, bodily processes, the transference of energy and elemental movement. Among Ripples and Folds, her fourth solo exhibition with Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, comprises all new work born out of a period of play and experimentation. For Giroletti, art-making has always balanced instinct with control, but her process is evolving. Where she once followed the interaction of colour and paint, she now begins by constructing her surfaces – cutting, sanding, and gluing pieces of wood until she reaches the desired shape. This shape becomes a container onto which she works more quickly and fluidly, allowing forms to emerge organically before she applies dark outlines that serve both as barriers and supports. Giroletti likens these lines to a form of writing: they are the artist taking hold of her material and leaving her mark, while also guiding the eye and suggesting shifting atmospheres, […]

Archie Rand | Sons | Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA Berlin) | 15.11.-20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4869ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts presents from Saturday, 15. November 2025 (Vernissage: 14.11.), the exhibition “Sons” by the artist Archie Rand. Contemporary Fine Arts presents, in cooperation with Max Werner, “Sons” by American artist Archie Rand — his first solo exhibition in Germany. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1949, Rand is one of the most important voices in contemporary painting at the intersection of text, religion, and pop culture. For over five decades, he has been exploring the relationship between word and image in monumental series of works — often inspired by Jewish scripture and commentary, but always beyond classical illustration. His visual language is expressive, loud, and full of narrative energy: bright colors, grotesque figures, visual overlays. In his new series Sons (2018–2024), Rand references Francisco de Zurbarán’s Baroque paintings Jacob and His Twelve Sons, which he radically reinterprets. Instead of depicting the biblical patriarchs themselves, Rand paints their dreams – surreal scenes full of knights, dinosaurs, cowgirls, and urban heroes that seem to come from the visual worlds of postwar American comics. These works are both mythological and deeply autobiographical: fragments of a visual memory fed by childhood, religion, and art history. Rand’s painting oscillates between seriousness and playfulness, between religious […]

Colorful Abstracton | Group exhibition | Galerie Martin Mertens | 21.11.2025-07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4865ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens shows from Friday, 21. November 2025 the Group exhibition “Colorful Abstraction” by the artists Thorbjørn Bechmann, Antje Blumenstein, Katrin Bremermann, Joanna Buchowska, Martin Bünger and Matthias Kanter. Danish painter Thorbjørn Bechmann explores the tension between chance and control in his work. His pieces are created through the interplay of freely moving paint, which makes its way across the canvas, and the artist’s constant intuitive interventions. Bechmann creates soft gradients that resemble delicate veils of colour. The process of layering many colours creates surfaces full of tension. The large-format works have an impressive luminosity and are reminiscent of dazzling, harmonious plays of light. In recent years, colour, light and spatiality have become central aspects of Antje Blumenstein‘s work. The Berlin-based artist often uses special materials such as neon tubes or fluorescent acrylic glass panels, which she layers and/or mills lines into to create fascinating geometric colour spaces that generate an intensely colourful interplay of surface and space through transparency and densification. The colour itself is transformed into a three-dimensional form. They encourage the viewer to move constantly and change their perspective. Für die Berliner Künstlerin Katrin Bremermann steht das freie Spiel mit geometrischen Formen und die […]

Colourful Abstraction | Group exhibition | Galerie Martin Mertens | 21.11.2025-07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4868ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens shows from Friday, 21. November 2025 the exhibition „Colourful Abstraction“ by the artists Thorbjørn Bechmann, Antje Blumenstein, Katrin Bremermann, Joanna Buchowska, Martin Bünger and Matthias Kanter. At the end of the year, the Galerie Martin Mertens is presenting a group exhibition that brings together artists exploring the theme of color and abstraction. The artistic materials and forms of expression are incredibly diverse. The Danish painter Thorbjørn Bechmann‘s work explores the tension between chance and control. His pieces emerge from the interplay of freely moving paint, which makes its way across the canvas, and the artist’s constant, intuitive interventions. Bechmann creates soft gradients that resemble delicate veils of color. Through the process of layering many colors, he creates surfaces rich in tension. The large-format works possess an impressive luminosity and evoke shimmering, harmonious plays of light. In recent years, color, light, and spatiality have become central aspects of Antje Blumenstein‘s work. The Berlin-based artist frequently uses unusual materials such as neon tubes or fluorescent acrylic sheets, which she uses to create fascinating geometric color spaces through layering and/or milling lines. These spaces, through their interplay of transparency and density, generate an intensely colorful […]

Gerhard Hoehme + Delia Jürgens | Like wolves on the Fold | Galerie Georg Nothelfer | 15.11.2025-24.01.2026
until 24.01. | #4867ARTatBerlin | Galerie Georg Nothelfer shows from 15. November 2025 (Opening: 14.11.) the exhibition Like wolves on the Fold by the artists Gerhard Hoehme and Delia Jürgens. At the intersection of two generations, the exhibition “Like Wolves on the Fold” presents works by Gerhard Hoehme (1920–1989), a central figure of postwar German Informel, and Delia Jürgens (born 1986), a young artist who grapples with questions of contemporary painting in the information age. “Fold” represents the invisible in-between, which manifests itself as an immaterial world: on the one hand, as an inverted, seismographic mountain fold that opens up a new meaning between the two artistic positions. On the other hand, “Fold” refers to Jürgens’ series “Facades – A Morning Full of Dust, You’re Half Inside and Half Way Out,” in which she processes impressions of street life outside her Los Angeles studio, thus simultaneously alluding to inequalities in Western societies. The exhibition unites both artistic perspectives in the day-night rhythm of light and invites the public to discover the tension-filled spaces between history, the present, and urban life. The works of Hoehme and Jürgens enter into a dialogue that opens up new avenues in the interplay of daylight […]

Joax | Darling, you are so sexy… | Galerie Z22 | 13.11.-23.11.2025
until 23.11. | #4891ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 13. November 2025 the exhibition “Darling, you are so sexy” by the artist Joax. According to Kant, evil is radical and the inclination or “propensity for evil” is just as deeply rooted in human nature as the “propensity for good”. Horny, sexy and porn are colloquial terms used today to describe both positions. Individual usage is determined by the individual, and despite encyclopaedic knowledge and civilisation, the “propensity for good” is not necessarily associated with it. A confusing world with an uncertain future is becoming increasingly radicalised. Thanks to their new worldview, those who harbour hatred once again know who their friends and enemies are. Autocrats are on the rise, and their willing accomplices can find instructions for their hatred in online shops. Opening: Thursday, 13. November 2025, at 7 pm. Exhibition dates: Thursday, 13. November – Sunday, 23.

Seth Price | „Portals“ | Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi | 15.11.2025–17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4866ARTatBerlin | Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi shows from Saturday, 15 November 2025 the exhibition “Portals” by the artist Seth Price. Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi is pleased to present “Portals”, the fifth solo exhibition by Seth Price at the gallery. The exhibition features a new series of paintings alongside a concise presentation of the artist’s records, cassettes, books, and garments. Price’s new works merge digital image generation with material craftsmanship, combining acrylic paint, generative image reverse-transfers into acrylic polymer, and UV prints on aluminum composite. The resulting surfaces fluctuate between physical presence and algorithmic abstraction. Seth Price, Haruspex, 2025, Acrylic paint, generative image reverse-transferred into acrylic polymer, and UV-print on aluminum composite, 151.8 x 134.9 x 2.9 cm In works such as Nox Anima Lens (2025) and Haruspex (2025), Price explores the intersections of body, technology, and perception. His “portals” act as thresholds between worlds — between human and machine, surface and meaning, presence and digital residue. The exhibition invites visitors to engage with the tension between the analogue and the generative, a recurring theme in Price’s practice that has shaped post-digital aesthetics since the early 2000s. Opening: Saturday, 15 November 2025, 6:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 15 November 2025 […]

until 20.12. | #4846ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake shows from Saturday, 8. November 2025 (Opening: 07.11.) the solo exhibition “Träskalle” by the artist Mattias Selldén and the group show “Mark Makers” with Ana Cláudia Almeida, ektor garcia and Thea Ekström. Galerie Nordenhake presents two exhibitions that explore materiality and artistic process from distinct perspectives. In his solo exhibition “Träskalle,” Mattias Selldén creates objects that blur the boundaries between sculpture and functional design. The artist himself describes his works as “dysfunctional furniture that could easily be mistaken for sculpture.” This playful ambiguity opens a space where the ordinary transforms into the poetic. Meticulously crafted yet conceptually free, Selldén’s pieces invite viewers to reconsider the relationship between function and form. Installation view, TRÄSKALLE, Mattias Selldén, Galerie Nordenhake Stockholm, 2025 Running parallel, the group exhibition “Mark Makers” brings together works by Ana Cláudia Almeida, ektor garcia, and Thea Ekström, each engaging with different approaches to material and mark-making. Almeida’s layered compositions of paint, fabric, and imagery evoke memory and ritual. Garcia’s sculptural forms merge textile craft with queer-feminist and artisanal traditions. Ekström’s expressive drawings and symbolic gestures connect inner experience with mythological resonance. Ana Cláudia Almeida, photo by Terry Cole and Emily Fahlén (own […]

Björn Dahlem | Great Cosmic Wall | Galerie Guido W. Baudach | 15.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4863ARTatBerlin | Galerie Guido W. Baudach shows from 15. November 2025 (Opening: 14.11.) the exhibition “Great Cosmic Wall” by the artist Björn Dahlem. Björn Dahlem refers to a phenomenon f6om the field of astronomy: the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, a cosmic superstructure that so far only exists in scientific theory. It is supposed to consist of an enormous accumulation of gravitationally connected star clusters with a presumed extent of 10 billion light-years. This would make the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall — if it actually exists — the largest and most massive structure in the observable universe. Great Cosmic Wall adds a new chapter to Dahlem’s oeuvre. Formally and in terms of content, it deals with specific borderline areas; be it those between microcosm and macrocosm, mundane everyday life and transcendent experience, or between order and chaos. Accordingly, Great Cosmic Wall can also be read as an allusive metaphor for the invisible barriers that separate our subjective experience of reality from the infinite: the mist between us and the universe; the curtain of light and shadow that separates space-time and matter. With Great Cosmic Wall, Björn Dahlem attempts not only to illustrate this borderline areas, but also to penetrate them in his sculptures. Opening: […]

Miriam Cahn | TRAUMBEFEHL | Meyer Riegger | 15.11.2025–17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4862ARTatBerlin | Meyer Riegger Berlin shows from Saturday, 15. November 2025 the exhibition ‘TRAUMBEFEHL’ by the artist Miriam Cahn. Miriam Cahn’s new exhibition at Meyer Riegger, Berlin represents a powerful and radical evolution of the artist’s multi-decade practice. TRAUMBEFEHL consists of a single, monumental ‘room installation’ that extends over both floors of the gallery space. Comprising paintings and drawings on different materials, which mix her hitherto characteristic figurative style with more-abstract and text-based pieces, as well as sculptural elements, the installation is made up of 174 individual components that are conceived of as one cohesive artwork. Dealing with themes of mortality and dreaming, TRAUMBEFEHL functions as a diary, with visitors invited to follow Cahn’s thoughts and ‘read’ entries along a pre-determined path set by the artist. An artist’s booklet containing a text by Miriam Cahn has been produced to accompany the exhibition. Opening: Saturday, 15. November 2025, 11 am–2 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 15.

Kara Walker | Kara Elizabeth Walker presents Dispatches from A— and the Museum of Half-remembered Histories | Sprüth Magers Berlin | 14.11.2025-04.04.2026
until 04.04. | #4861ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 14. November 2025 (Vernissage: 13.11.) the exhibition “Kara Elizabeth Walker presents Dispatches from A— and the Museum of Half-remembered Histories” by the artist Kara Walker. Kara Walker’s œuvre scrutinises themes of race, gender, sexuality and violence, showcasing a profound exploration of societal complexities and positioning her as a preeminent figure among contemporary American artists. At Sprüth Magers, Berlin, Walker debuts all-new cutout collages in vibrant ink and watercolour. Presented on a grand scale akin to history paintings, these works build upon her iconic monochromatic silhouettes by harnessing the power of formal composition, texture and colour. The show is completed by new pastels that reimagine traditional genres and several arresting watercolour drawings. For her new series of works, Walker draws inspiration from an illustrated popular history of the United States from the 1870s to explore how the creation of history is negotiated—a negotiation that continues to this day, beneath the surface of her homeland’s difficult realities. By examining this post-Civil War source, she questions the mechanisms by which American identity has been constructed and mythologized. She employs vibrant paper cutouts, skillfully blending fluid, expressive layers of color with sharply defined forms […]

until 07.02. | #4857ARTatBerlin | ChertLüdde (Ritterstr. 2A) shows from Saturday, 22 November 2025 the exhibitions “At the limits of the city” by the artist David Horvitz and “Let Them Say Something” by the artist Ali Eyal. ChertLüdde presents two parallel solo exhibitions by Los Angeles-based artists David Horvitz and Ali Eyal, each of which explores questions of place, memory and collective experience in a poetic and socially reflective manner. The opening will take place on Saturday, 22 November 2025, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the gallery. David Horvitz – At the limits of the city In his exhibition At the Limits of the City, David Horvitz expands on the legacy of Californian conceptual art of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The artist explores geographical boundaries by transferring elements of his Los Angeles garden project to Berlin, thereby reinterpreting the dialogue between two urban spaces.

Jens Risch | Knotted Time | Taubert Contemporary | 07.11.2025-31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4858ARTatBerlin | Taubert Contemporary shows from Friday, 7. November 2025 the exhibition “Knotted Time” by the artist Jens Risch. With Knotted Time, Jens Risch presents his first solo exhibition at Taubert Contemporary – a concentrated insight into a body of work that has been radically dedicated to the interconnection of time, material, and action for over two decades. In the tradition of conceptual and process-based art, as encountered in the work of Hanne Darboven, On Kawara, or Tehching Hsieh, Risch transforms a seemingly simple, repetitive gesture – the knotting of a thread – into a poetic exploration of duration, presence, and existential perseverance. A multi-layered artistic universe unfolds across four rooms, quietly yet powerfully questioning the relationship between presence and absence, process and documentation. The focus is less on the visible result than on the invisible framework of time, discipline, and repetition that underpins these works – an approach that can be traced back to the meditative rigor of Eastern practices as well as the Western tradition of performative self-measurement. In the first room, visitors encounter three key works from the past decade: Seidenstück6 (2015–2017, 1,269 hours of work), Seidenstück7 (2017–2018, 1,679 hours of work), and Seidenstück8 […]

Anna Witt | Radical Optimism | Galerie Tanja Wagner | 14.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4856ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tanja Wagner shows from Friday, 14. November 2025 the exhibition “Radical Optimism” by the artist Anna Witt. The exhibition presents new works exploring radical hope as both an emancipatory force and a strategy for navigating crisis and social change. At the centre of the exhibition is the two-channel video installation Nights of Labour. The work positions dreaming as a deeply personal, visionary mode of imagination that serves as a crucial precondition for societal transformation. For the project, Witt invited a group of people to gather and dream within the former industrial hall of the Hydra Werke in Berlin, a space poised between its industrial past and the pressures of gentrification. The camera moves gently across the stage-like setting of carpets and furniture, capturing the participants’ faces as they lie in quiet concentration, imagining their hopes for the future. Daydreaming emerges as both an intimate and collective experience. In the second video channel, the dreams and ideas articulated by the group return as voiceovers. We encounter the same space; however, it now appears deserted and gradually disintegrating. The work draws inspiration from Jacques Rancière’s non-fiction book Nights of Labor, which tells the story of 19th-century […]

Alexander Basil | Error 404 | Galerie Judin | 15.11.2025-24.01.2026
until 24.01. | #4855ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin shows from 15. November 2025 (Vernissage: 14.11.) the exhibition “Error 404“ by the artist Alexander Basil. Self-reflection, contemplation, searching – these are the terms that first come to mind when attempting to describe Alexander Basil’s latest paintings. With an artist like Basil, whose distinctive visual language is so immediately recognisable, even the subtlest changes in tone or nuance in his visual vocabulary are noticeable. In recent years, the artist has intensively explored his own unique form of self-expression by literally giving his own face to almost all the figures depicted in his works – not only human motifs, but also other living beings and even inanimate objects – resulting in dreamlike, surreal compositions. Now he presents himself with a slightly altered perspective: more analytical, more methodical – but by no means less attentive. Quite the contrary. His current work covers a specific period beginning with the artist’s birth and continuing to the present day. It is therefore a biographical retrospective in which several developments run parallel – primarily Alexander Basil’s career as an artist and his social and physical transition to manhood. To this end, Basil repeatedly draws on imagery reminiscent of scientific […]

Eleanor Swordy | Say less | Galerie Max Hetzler | 14.11.2025.-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4854ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler (Bleibtreustraße 45) shows from the 14th. November 2025 the exhibition “Say Less” by the artist Eleanor Swordy. In two paintings from Eleanor Swordy’s new exhibition at the Max Hetzler Gallery in Berlin, a figure in the centre of the canvas looks at the viewer. The eyes of these figures appear veiled, as each of them looks at (or perhaps more accurately, looks through) a task – basket weaving and cutting paper flowers – which their hands perform with somnambulistic attention. Although outward-looking, neither figure is confrontational, but rather completely absorbed in their respective activities, perhaps even appearing somewhat perplexed. Like Swordy, both have long blonde hair – a hint that they are representatives of the painter herself. Swordy’s works often contain elements that allegorically represent their inherent artificiality. In For You, the lower edge of the painting becomes a surface on which scattered fragments of coloured paper dropped by the flower cutter are collected. In this typically playful manner, Swordy alludes to the objectivity of the painting, with self-reflexivity being an important aspect of her work. Here, as even more clearly in Set Apart, the depicted action and the technical implementation together […]

NACKT – 30 Years of Galerie Deschler Berlin | Group exhibition | Galerie Deschler | 21.11.2025–14.2.2026
until 14.02. | #4853ARTatBerlin | Galerie Deschler shows from 21 November 2025, the exhibition NACKT – 30 Years of Galerie Deschler Berlin by the artists Elvira Bach, Luciano Castelli, Rainer Fetting, Gerhard Kehl and Salomé. To mark its 30th anniversary, Galerie Deschler Berlin will be presenting the exhibition ‘NACKT’ (Naked) from 21 November 2025, featuring works by Rainer Fetting, Elvira Bach, Luciano Castelli and Salomé – important representatives of the ‘Junge Wilde’ (Young Wild Ones) and their artistic milieu. The exhibition focuses on early erotic nudes from the 1970s and 1980s, which are regarded as symbols of sexual self-determination and artistic freedom. Special attention is given to the juxtaposition of Fetting’s ‘Figur an der Mauer’ (Figure at the Wall, 1987) with his sculpture ‘Die Drehung’ (The Turn), which takes up and continues the pose of the figure from the painting. Accompanying this, the ‘Blue Series’ by Gerhard Kehl, who died in 2024, in the basement commemorates the opening of the gallery on 16 December 1995 – as a tribute to three decades of committed, courageous and innovative gallery work. Opening reception: Friday, 21. November 2025, 7-9 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 21. November 2025 – Saturday, 14. February 2026 […]

SALON: MAU R | AOA;87 X DŸSE | AOA;87 contemporary | 21.11.-20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4852ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 contemporary presents from Friday, 21. November 2025 (Opening: 20.11.) the group exhibition „SALON: MAU R | AOA;87 X DŸSE“, an anniversary exhibition about ruptures, conviction, and the end of the illusion of sugarland. “Unprepared. Unreflected. Naive. And dumb.” This is how DŸSE’s song Keine Mauern mehr ends – and with it, an entire narrative: the German reunification fairy tale that, in its euphoria, painted over the cracks. Sugar on every corner – and teeth long stuck in concrete. The words hit hard. No pathos, no pop – a reckoning. A reminder that freedom doesn’t fall from the sky, but requires conviction. SALON: MAU R is AOA;87’s response to this – and simultaneously a manifesto for the gallery’s fifth anniversary. Five years of dialogue, friction, courage. Born from an idea, from a conviction. The exhibition positions itself as a Salon des Refusés of our time – a place for discussion rather than decoration, for artistic conviction rather than conformity. Inspired by French salon culture, it opens as a hybrid space between art, music, politics, and society – a hub of diversity. DYSE © Maren Michaelis At its center stands the project MAU R by DŸSE […]

Trisha Baga | MORE | Galerie Société | 07.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4848ARTatBerlin | Galerie Société shows from Friday, 7. November 2025 (Vernissage: 06.11.) the exhibition “MORE” by the artist Trisha Baga. A throughline in Trisha Baga’s expansive practice is their ongoing exploration of machines as narrative creatures. Baga empathizes with the tools and systems their work engages, often invoking them as metaphors for reflection, connection, and destruction. MORE, their sixth solo exhibition with SOCIÉTÉ, takes its title from one of the first words a child utters as well as the driving desire behind technological development: perpetual “advancement,” more data, more speed. Immersive 3D videos and constellations of ceramic works transform the gallery space into an offbeat computer desktop through which its day-to-day operations remain visible. This suspension between the everyday and bizarre is mirrored in the exhibition’s central video work, which metabolizes original footage, Hollywood films, found media, and sound. These transparent layers accumulate into a fractured tale of domestic alien encounter, unfolding amidst broader reflections on the strange ecologies and shifting power dynamics between humans and technology. This suspension between the everyday and the bizarre is mirrored in the exhibition’s title video, an associative and recursive composition that metabolizes original footage, Hollywood science fiction, and found sound […]

Evelyn Sommerhoff | Bondage | Galerie Z22 | 30.10.-08.11.2025
until 08.11. | #4859ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 30. October 2025 the exhibition „Bondage“ by the artist Evelyn Sommerhoff. Bondage refers to practices of tying up or restricting the body’s freedom of movement in BDSM. The term comes from English and means, among other things, “unfreedom” or “servitude”. The goal is sexual stimulation; However, there are special forms in which bondage is used for aesthetic or other reasons. (WIKIPEDIA) Bondage – figurines – as an artistic examination of the boundary between control and devotion. The exhibition does not explore the technical practice of bondage, but rather the complex experience of the body in the area of tension between security, pain and release. It’s about the perception of one’s own body in changing life situations: elevated by adrenaline and risk, calmed by trust, challenged by boundaries and clear saying no. The works invite you to consider the subtle coherence of power, consent and self-determination – beyond clichés and pigeonholes. How does the experience of the body change when boundaries are pushed or tested? What role does consent, communication and safety play in the process of building and releasing tension? Which forms of devotion, trust and autonomy can be made visible without […]

Marc Nagtzaam | Sidetracked | Galerie kajetan Berlin | 13.12.2025–31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4890AARTatBerlin | Galerie kajetan Berlin shows from Saturday, 13 December 2025 (Opening: 12.12.) the exhibition “Sidetracked” by the artist Marc Nagtzaam. In “Sidetracked,” Marc Nagtzaam presents a new series of his reduced, rigorously structured visual compositions, where lines, grids, rhythms, and voids function as independent semantic systems. The works operate intentionally between construction and disruption, order and diversion — a controlled detour that compels viewers to reorient their gaze. Nagtzaam’s practice is rooted in repeated markings, accumulations, and overwritings that generate a quiet yet persistent tension. Through this process of “losing and finding” within the pictorial field, a visual logic gradually emerges. “Sidetracked” expands on this principle, showcasing works that are meticulously composed while deliberately maintaining a sense of incompleteness. Opening: Friday, 12 December 2025, 6:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 13 December 2025 until Friday, 31 January 2026 Image caption title: Marc Nagtzaam, Flächen, 2025, Unique Riso print, 42 × 30 cm.

Michael Jastram + Michael Dressel | Here Today, Gone Tomorrow | Galerie feinart berlin | 04.12.2025-07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4885ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from Thursday, 04. December 2025 the exhibition Here Today, Gone Tomorrow by the artists Michael Jastram and Michael Dressel. The sculptures of Michael Jastram and the desert photographs of Michael Dressel converge in their awareness of the essence of time. The exhibition is an encounter between two close friends in their artistic work, whose paths first crossed 47 years ago at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee, then scattered in different directions during the upheavals of the Berlin reunification period, and finally came together again in 2016. Just as external circumstances shaped their biographies, the sculptures of Michael Jastram and the photographs of Michael Dressel, taken in the North American desert, touch on a common theme: an awareness of the nature of time. One need not recall Hannes Wader’s lyrics to „Heute hier, morgen dort“ (1972) to hear a quiet melancholy about the fleetingness of the moment and the uncertainty of the future in the exhibition title chosen by the artists. Their works prove that there is a special beauty in the silence of this awareness.

Nassim L’Ghoul + Stefanie Schwarzwimmer | Barometer of Self-Optimization | KLEMM’S | 21.11.2025-10.01.2026
until 10.01. | #4883ARTatBerlin | KLEMM’S shows from 21. November 2025 the exhibition Barometer of Self-Optimization by the artists Nassim L’Ghoul and Stefanie Schwarzwimmer. Klemm’s presents Barometer of Self-Optimization, a video programme featuring works by Nassim L’Ghoul (*1997 in Bad Soden) and Stefanie Schwarzwimmer (*1990 in Linz), with screenings at Klemm’s Downstairs. Complementing Sven Johne’s exhibition Eternal 20th Century, the programme explores conceptual links across generations, touching on themes of violence, labour, war, and the uncanny. In his works, Nassim L’Ghoul uses digital and conceptual tools to abstract personal experiences and interweave them with found material. By re-contextualising these fragments, hybrid environments are created that oscillate between the real and the imaginary. Stefanie Schwarzwimmer constructs virtual spaces mixing memories, media, and pop culture, forming satirical reflections on social trends. Her work examines content creation, self-optimization, consumerism, and visual power in a media-saturated world. Opening: Friday, 21. November 2025, 7 to 9 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 21. November 2025 to Saturday, 10. January 2026 Screenings: Saturdays, 12–6 pm and by appointment. Title image caption: Nassim L’Ghoul, ‘Soliloquy’, 2025. Film still.

Caravaggio – Cupid as Victor
Caravaggio is said to be the master of light and shade like how his piece “Amor vincit Omnia” or “Cupid as victor” undoubtedly proves. The specific focus was on the use of light and shade causing the painting to seem plastic, showing a naked and winged cupid embodied by a young boy. His pose is […]
