until 29.11. | #4824ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from Thursday, 16. October 2025 the exhibition „Traces of Solitude“ by the artist Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnowl.
In her new works, Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnow follows the subtle traces of solitude. Her paintings capture those moments when time slows down and an inner space opens up. Between light and shadow, images of quiet intensity emerge, inviting the viewer to follow the gentle movements of retreat. Each canvas becomes a search for traces—for inner vastness, for tranquility, for the delicate glimmer of a different view of the world.

At first glance, B. Yoshiko Pruchnow’s series of works may appear different: earthy, muted still lifes and back portraits, vibrant, neon-colored blue tones in the underwater images, and color-intensive Tokyo motifs in the glowing metropolis. But what all series have in common is a moment of pause and reflection—the common thread in Pruchnow’s work.

In the still lifes, for example, or in the back portraits of the young protagonists, calm and seclusion merge into concentrated states of being. The underwater scenes take your breath away, the swimmers’ eyes close to enjoy the solitude. The perspective is often deliberately chosen—rear view or bird’s-eye view—so that the inner spaces of the figures are in the foreground and observation protects them at the same time.

The images invite us to pause, gather our thoughts, and reflect: How do we encounter the world? Where do our gaze and our touch end, and where do they begin with others?
Vernissage: Thursday, 16. October 2025, 7 pm
