*"Between memory and the present"

New visual worlds of figurative painting.

Starting on September 5, the E30 Gallery will present an extraordinary encounter with contemporary painting as part of the Frankfurt Gallery Season Opening (Frankfurt Art Experience 2025). Through their latest creations, Klara Landwehr and Noah Kauertz transport us to multi-layered visual visual worlds that redefine the relationship between time, space, and memory.

In her latest works, Landwehr develops a fascinating practice of transformation. Starting with carefully composed collages of small paintings, sketches, and colored papers—a kind of personal library of visual memories—she creates atmospheric, landscape-like compositions. Born in Haan in 1987, Landwehr was a master's student of Eberhard Havekost and a former student of Markus Lüpertz at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. She transfers these collaged visual worlds into reduced oil paintings, where construction and intuition come together in an exciting way. Her works invite viewers into imaginary spaces that are calm, multi-layered, and full of surprising details.

Noah Kauertz introduces a different form of temporality with his studio views, among other works. Born in India in 1993, the artist studied as master's student under Andreas Orosz at the Alanus University and creates paintings that function as visual diaries. He sometimes paints himself in his studio, repaints sections, and integrates existing paintings and elements collected over time into the image. The results are works that combine movement and stillness, becoming and passing away within a single pictorial plane. - Stage-like compositions captivating its viewers.

The artists share a sensitivity to the processual nature of painting. While Landwehr transitions from the fragmentation of collage to the synthesis of painting, Kauertz documents the painting process itself as the subject of his art. The works of both artists speak a common language of layered time. They reveal what is usually hidden: the history of creation, traces of reflection, and the poetry of the unfinished.

The E30 Gallery in Frankfurt's Nordend district is offering a rare opportunity to experience two approaches to contemporary representational painting that combine traditional narrative with conceptual sophistication. These works are authentic, intellectually thoughtful, and emotionally touching.
