With the exhibition “UFERLOS IM ALL”, (Endless in Space), CSR.ART is dedicating a comprehensive presentation to the artist Peter Hemmelskamp (1961–2006), showcasing his extraordinary body of work. The exhibition brings together works by an artist who, during his lifetime, worked largely outside the established art world and is now being rediscovered as a remarkable figure in Art Brut, straddling the line between figurative and abstract visual language. Travel played a central role in Hemmelskamp’s life: numerous stays in Europe and Africa shaped his perception and found artistic expression on paper. Landscapes, nature and culture found their way into his visual worlds, rich in colour and form. Hemmelskamp’s paintings speak of setting out on new journeys and a curious openness towards the unknown. This resonates particularly strongly during the summer months, when people are travelling.

The exhibition opening will take place on Friday, 3 July 2026 at 6 pm at CSR.ART.
