until 18.07. | #5062ARTatBerlin | GALERIE STEFAN RASCHE presents from 1. May 2026 the exhibition Intersection by the artist Jan Ros.
Under the title “Intersection”, the gallery is presenting new works by Jan Ros in a solo exhibition from 1 May to 18 July 2026.
The city, architecture and space – these are the themes of the Dutch painter, who has been part of the gallery’s programme for 20 years now. Working from photographic references, he transforms these motifs into multifaceted paintings that, whilst essentially object-oriented, also produce abstract passages defined entirely by colour. Thus, he varies degrees of sharpness and the flow of movement depending on the subject, modelling three-dimensional volumes from broad brushstrokes, working with stencil-like inserts and sharp contours that stand out from their painterly surroundings like cut-outs.
His repertoire includes urban landscapes as well as famous buildings of international modernism, but also depictions of cars and aeroplanes, of transient places such as petrol stations and terminals, which are reminiscent of scenes from a road movie. In doing so, however, he does not depict the hectic bustle of urban life, but rather the silence of deserted spaces.
Jan Ros’s window paintings, which draw the eye to an urban panorama – and thus imaginatively expand the viewer’s physical space – demonstrate that the interplay between interior and exterior, light and shadow, also plays a significant role. These are complemented by depictions of glazed stairwells, blinds and empty display cases, through which the artist explores various states of transparency and visibility in his paintings.
The exhibition will open at the start of Gallery Weekend on Friday, 1 May 2026, from 6 pm to 9 pm, in the presence of the artist.
