until 07.06. | #4699ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne shows from Friday, 16. May 2025 an exhibition by the artist Johannes Regin in the backstage of the gallery.
Johannes Regin’s works are based on the precise placement of dot patterns, which are applied in several layers on top of each other. This creates grids with minimal variations that indicate shifts in tension in the rhythm. Older traces of colour and traces of drawing are visible in the works, indicating the found material used. The structural arrangement appears uniform, but reveals a multitude of creative details. In the current work phase, the dots are placed two or three times on top of each other. The working process requires concentration and a conscious examination of the material. Regin uses found objects, the surfaces of which he works on by drawing, painting, engraving, punching or chiselling. The choice of colours and techniques is deliberate, often with more accentuated tones at the edges. Colour overlays complement the visual effect. The result is a differentiated structure that combines creative stability with openness to change.
Born in Neubrandenburg in 1986, Johannes Regin lives and works in Berlin and Spechthausen. He studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee from 2007 to 2012. In 2013 he became a master student of Prof Hanns Schimansky and was awarded the Mart-Stam Prize in the same year.
