until 20.12. | #4871ARTatBerlin | WENTRUP is currently showing the exhibition ‘Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs’ by artist Karl Haendel.
WENTRUP presents Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs, the fourth solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Karl Haendel. Known for his consistent exploration of drawing, the artist uses scale, installation, materiality and photorealism to emphasise the relevance of this medium in contemporary art.
In this new series of works, Haendel explores existential themes such as faith, hope, deception and projection. His large-format, detailed drawings focus on collective myths and the fragility of human beliefs.
Haendel’s works operate at the intersection of precise technique and emotional intensity. They confront viewers with questions of meaning, truth, and the human longing for redemption.
Opening: Saturday, 8 November 2025, 3:00–7:00 pm
Exhibition dates: Saturday, 8 November 2025 until Saturday, 20 December 2025
