until 30.05. | #5011ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from Thursday, 16. April 2026 the exhibition „Sonnenflecken und Schattengewächse“ by the artists Hannah Becher and Susanne Roewer.
The exhibition *Sunspots and Shade Plants* brings together the works of sculptor Susanne Roewer and painter Hannah Becher in a dynamic dialogue between material, surface, time, and perception.
Susanne Roewer develops her sculptures from the encounter between contrasting materials such as metal, stone, or glass. Fragile connections give rise to new entities in which figurative echoes and abstract formal language intertwine. Her artistic process is characterized by a keen attentiveness to the material and its unique qualities. From this emerging works that narrate poetic moments of human life—navigating the realms of absurdity, romance, politics, and quiet irony.

Hannah Becher, on the other hand, explores the dimension of time on the canvas. Starting from the idea that time can be read in space, she makes it tangible on the surface. Her painting conceives of the canvas as a projection space for transience, humanity, and nature. In this process, contrasts and painterly processes come to the fore: the visible emerges not solely from the subject matter, but from the manner of its appearance. In this way, Becher develops her own forms of visibility in which perception itself becomes the subject.
In the interplay of these two positions, a multi-layered structure of light and shadow, condensation and dissolution unfolds. Sunspots and Shadow Plants thus describes not only a visual field of tension but also a state of becoming—between material and imagination, body and surface, moment and duration.
