until 17.05. | #4636ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 10th April 2025 the exhibition „Confabulations“ by the artist Nikolaas Boden.
Nikolaas Boden sees himself as a painter, even if the colour is sometimes already dry and part of a collage, and even if he expresses his pictures in ceramic figures.
Boden, who grew up in England, studied graphic design at Leeds Polytechnic and has lived in Berlin since 1990.
The experience of learning and teaching languages has strongly influenced his work as an artist.
The three most important sources of art for him are Ice Age art, the High Renaissance and the early modernism of the 20th century, to which he returns again and again.
The power dynamics in society, between the sexes and in sexuality have preoccupied him for over 50 years.
His youth was strongly influenced by the cultural turnaround of punk – and its impetuous scepticism towards orthodoxies and its call to always remain true to oneself inspired his work back then and continues to do so today.
Opening: Thursday, 10th April 2025, from 7 to 10 pm
Exhibition dates: Thursday, 10th April – Saturday, 17th May 2025
