until 04.12. | #5184ARTatBerlin | Galerie Gilla Lörcher presents from Friday, 30. October 2026 the exhibition “Doodlemath” by the artist Ab van Hanegem.
Galerie Gilla Lörcher is showing the latest artworks created in 2026 by the dutch painter Ab van Hanegem. “In my more recent works,” writes Ab van Hanegem, “spatiality is no longer clearly based on traditional perspective—that is, the horizon and vanishing point—but rather I use isometric perspective. The dimensions in my works are difficult to identify. I focus on spatiality inspired by phenomena in topology, a branch of mathematics. My latest works are primarily expressionistic, with the material playing a greater role in the creative process, yet they are also architecturally constructed. For me, these ‘impossible structures’ represent special fields; one could call them ‘thinking spaces.’ Fields that one can wander through endlessly, not only with the eyes but also mentally.”
