until 24.10. | #4812ARTatBerlin | Kuckei + Kuckei shows from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the exhibition flower:trail by the artist Nikola Röthemeyer.
Nikola Röthemeyer’s drawings spin worlds of their own, which narrate the precise delicacy, the beauty of the organic and an imaginative, passionate observation of nature.
The exhibition flower:trail brings together large-format drawings that can be read like a wall frieze, marking a continuous path through Röthemeyer’s cosmos of humans and animals, flora and fauna.
She combines her highly precise brush drawings with areas of coloured ink, whose delicate gradients masterfully connect the deliberately placed with the randomly occurring. In the exhibition, they are complemented by a wall narrative that extends the drawing into the gallery space.
The artist’s works are continuous, each of the motifs is connected to the following. Taken as a whole, they suggest a path through the unknown: a scene that appears both magical and adventurous, in which nature – simply in its choice of proportions – is far superior to humans. What could be interpreted in many ways as a “dreamlike landscape” embodies a concept of nature that symbolises a protective and harmonious force. Röthemeyer finds examples of this concept in the songlines of the Aborigines and in the Japanese culture of Kadō, an art of flower arrangement emphasizing harmony between nature and the human touch.
