until 25.04. | #4979ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from ,Thursday 12. March 2026 the exhibition Seasons by the artist Ryan Mosley.
The seasons are not merely perceived, but lived. They subtly alter how body and mind move and feel, even before we are aware of it. In Mosley’s paintings, figure and landscape merge into a unified whole. The figures reflect the contours of the terrain or seem to rise from it; they are part of the landscape, rather than placed upon it. In “Bedrock,” the striding figure visually merges with the water and rocks behind. Its body takes on the colors of the landscape, its skin touched by the peach-colored light of dusk. Where we often experience the body as a barrier between inner life and the outer world, these paintings instead visualize continuity. They suggest that the experience of the seasons is both internal and external—felt through the body and shaped by the world around us. […]
Excerpt from the press release by Beth Hughes
Ryan Mosley (born 1980) lives and works in Sheffield, UK, and studied painting at the Royal College of Art, London. The artist often synthesizes art-historical themes, styles and movements to create surreal, folk-inspired paintings that appear both contemporary and timeless. Mosley approaches each work intuitively, often finding the image in the process of making, while treating the paintbrush as a pencil to build images through layers of translucent washes. This spontaneous process results in theatrical spaces and fantastic landscapes, in which the figures continuously resonate with their environment, and vice versa. They appear at once whimsical and tragic, ambiguous and intriguing. In recent works, the magnitude of the natural world has become more prominent. Human figures are often dwarfed by the enormousness of their surroundings.
