until 12.04. | #4958ARTatBerlin | Galerie Creative Game shows from Friday, 27. March 2026 the exhibition – Szenen aus Intarsiën – by the artists Ida Clay and Mo Faqeeh.
The scenes depicted in the images are created using wood veneers through the technique of marquetry, a veneer-based form of inlay. The natural grain of the material meets graphic composition, creating a tension between design and materiality.
The works explore the relationship between figure and space. Architecture and landscape dominate the picture planes; the figures depicted appear as simplified silhouettes, integrated into clear spatial arrangements. Proximity, distance, and isolation arise not from action, but from position and relationship.
Ida Clay + Mo Faqeeh, Stufen, 2023, 63 x 40 cm
The central element is the material itself. The images are created from thin wood veneer that is cut, joined, and pressed into a solid surface—a process reminiscent of marquetry. Different grains, densities, and hues give the space its texture. The material’s natural structure remains visible and defies complete control. Irregularities create a sense of movement within the surface.

This creates a tension between precise, graphic form and organic materiality. The scenes depicted are imbued with a living material that embodies time and physicality.
