until 07.02. | #4904ARTatBerlin | Haverkampf Leistenschneider presents from Wednesday, 7. January 2026 a solo-exhibition by the artist Heidrun Rathgeb.
Galerie Haverkampf Leistenschneider presents a body of small-scaled works by Heidrun Rathgeb in their Gallery Cabinet. Living and working near Lake Constance in southwestern Germany, the surrounding light and landscape deeply informs her intimate egg tempera paintings, luminous and patiently layered. Working from plein air sketches that she calls her “daily epiphanies,” she translates lived moments (never photographs) into layers of color and light that evoke both connection and devotion.
Heidrun Rathgeb, Füße in San Mamete (Feet in San Mamete), 2025, egg tempera on gesso on panel, 14 x 9 cm
Influenced by early Sienese painters as well as modern artists like Winifred Nicholson and Paula Modersohn-Becker, Rathgeb approaches painting as an act of attention and care, drawing inspiration from her family, home, and long hikes through the Alps, Norway, and Scotland.
Heidrun Rathgeb, Zeichnen bei Nacht (Drawing at Night), 2025, egg tempera on gesso on panel, 8 x 12 cm
