until 11.10. | #4767ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 the exhibition “Kindred Spirits” by the artist Sue Hayward.
Sue Hayward’s exhibition Kindred Spirits opens up a multi-layered visual cosmos in which the connection between humans, animals, and nature is as much a theme as the dissolution of supposed boundaries. The title refers to the idea of an emotional closeness that extends beyond the visible.

By layering gauze, wax, and pigment, Hayward creates translucent surfaces that capture, filter, and reflect light. This interplay of coverage and permeability forms pictorial spaces that guide and withdraw the gaze—spaces that are “larger than the material itself,” according to the artist.

Her works oscillate between figuration and symbolic condensation. Birds, sea creatures, and reptiles appear as mediators between times, continents, and spheres, symbolizing the ability to overcome boundaries and preserve fleeting moments. With Kindred Spirits, Hayward presents works that move between sensuality and reflection, opening spaces of resonance where the supposedly separate is experienced as profoundly connected.
Opening: Saturday, 6 September 2025, 5:00 pm
Exhibition dates: Saturday, 6 September – Saturday, 11 October 2025
