"Auf der Suche" ("Searching...") - Mollie Campbell, Sebastian Jauregui and Lukas Zimmermann

What are we looking for when we look? *Searching* brings together three perspectives that challenge the familiar - and in doing so occupy that space where images speak louder than words.

Mollie Campbell paints things we know - and makes them seem strange. Her works play with context and the loss of context, with a sense of time and quiet absurdity. A diptych on the loss of time, an image of the humor in the everyday, geese endlessly circling: stillness and movement at the same time.

Lukas Zimmermann constructs pictorial spaces from fleeting moments of light, the play of facades, and childhood finds - interlocking, composed in flat planes, and poetically charged. In his work, the familiar tips into the dreamlike: deserted streets, otherworldly figures, proportions that refuse to add up. Between catastrophe and childhood, high art and toys, his very own urban poetry unfolds.

Sebastian Jauregui, on the other hand, condenses. Still lifes, portraits, and symbolically charged objects are deliberately arranged by him into reduced pictorial spaces - precisely constructed and at the same time full of psychological tension. Superstition, memory, and cultural projection run through his works as recurring motifs.

The gallery is open on June 7, June 14*, and June 21—from 2 to 4 p.m. each day—and on June 26 from 7 to 9 p.m. *!Summer Party! Please also do not hesitate to reach out for free individual appointments at any time.

Noah Kauertz - Solo Show

With his new series of works, “Can’t See the Forest for the Trees,” Noah Kauertz is embarking on a new chapter in his artistic practice: landscape painting. Theatrical compositions emerge from a multi-layered process - digital collages, physical dioramas made of cardboard and paper, strategic lighting, and finally, classical oil painting. Influences from art history, pop culture, and AI flow into the work just as much as personal memories: of prickly pears in Mallorca, of hiding spots in his grandmother’s garden, of Mediterranean landscapes. The images oscillate between still life and landscape, between two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality, between analog and digital - deliberately placed “errors” bear witness to this interplay. A reduced, clear color palette characterizes the new works and places them in dialogue with Kauertz’s earlier works.

From the artist: "The paintings are shaped by a crucial image-finding phase: I approach a motif through digital collages; in the next step, physical models (similar to dioramas) are created from cardboard and paper, which are staged with lighting to be photographed again and further collaged. A reciprocal process between analog and digital, until it comes to the actual craft of painting. This approach to the image-finding process allows me to draw from a smorgasbord of images of all kinds (displayed as a pinboard in the studio, all printed out). I am no longer reliant on a single photo shoot. The various image sources that come together in a work are united both through the physical model and the painting itself."
