[COLOGNE] THE DANCE PAINTINGS
MATTHEW STONE 9 Jun - 28 Jul 2024 The paintings join multiple art historical threads, weaving them into a layered narrative that encompasses Henri Matisse’s La Danse (1910) and Nicolas Poussin’s Danse à la musique du Temps (c. 1640), which in turn inspired Matisse’s own masterpiece.

[COLOGNE] ADVENTURE INCL.
BEN EDMUNDS + AT HUTH 10 Jun - 23 Jul 2023 Edmunds and Huth situate their work in this gap between the enchant of functionality and the infrathin value of unusability.

[COLOGNE] BRUISED DAWN
GALINA MUNROE 22 Apr - 28 May 2023 Flowers have historically been considered a very suitable subject for women with artistic aspirations.

[LONDON] A MOMENT IN TIME
BOB BAXTER 18 Mar - 22 Apr 2023 Baxter’s large, striking paintings are life sized and hold powerful depictions of anthropometric figures. The beings stand on the edge of order, and we are unsure if their presence is of our world. The scenes are void of narrative structure, taken very much to the viewer’s discretion; elements of action,... Read more -
[COLOGNE] ANALOG DISTORTION
ROY AURINKO 18 Feb - 2 Apr 2023 The artist approaches his canvases from the perspective of a uniquely “analog” connection. His entire art practice is about gesture, senses and bodily ties. No digital device could substitute or implement this. In these paintings, nothing escapes the laws of contact and corporeity. Large surfaces allow him whole-body interactions. Body... Read more -
[COLOGNE] NO-MAN'S LAND
KIM BOOKER 18 Feb - 2 Apr 2023 The exhibition title, no-man's-land, is deliberately multi-layered. On the one hand, it mirrors the artist's craving for freedom.

[COLOGNE} ROHE GESTALT
SEBASTIAN GÖGEL 18 Sep - 8 Nov 2022 Gögel's paintings are a reverie of shapes and colours. He is thoroughly baroque.

[LONDON] THE KING OF CARROT FLOWERS
GALINA MUNROE 2 - 30 Oct 2021 The full-frontal compositions of the larger-scale paintings confront the viewer, brimming with life, a sense of springtime with flowers blooming in young enthusiasm.

[LONDON] BOY WITH A TAMBOURINE
NICK JENSEN 17 Jun - 17 Jul 2021 Inhabiting a sometimes dense, smoky haze, Nick Jensen's figures engage us with their suggestiveness. Absent voids in the shape of silhouetted profiles become sites into which we pour our own subjective memories, or visually listen to the unfamiliar. Navigating the hinterland where figuration fades into abstraction, his paintings eschew the... Read more -

[COLOGNE] GOOFY
JENNY BROSINSKI 14 Apr - 13 Jun 2021 If the signature is a culprit, then the painted is the scene of the crime. A crime scene without a crime, but a place of painterly occurrence.

[LONDON] THE FUTURE OF NOSTALGIA
CHRISTINA NIEDERBERGER 3 Dec 2020 - 2 Jan 2021 Perceptions of art and its past are forever changing.

[LONDON] THE FLOWER OF KENT
MAX RUMBOL 1 - 31 Oct 2020 Throughout time we have been hammered with the myth of an artist as a genius, an obsessive laborer, a crazy solitary being.

[COLOGNE] MAKING FLOWERS ALIVE
JOHNNY ABRAHAMS 28 Feb - 26 Apr 2020 Deceptively simple, Abrahams presents a unique lexicon of shapes, the haphazard texture from a palette knife, sparse but distinct color, and the negative space of raw canvas.

JACK BRINDLEY & NICK JENSEN 8 Feb - 7 Mar 2020 The title of the exhibition, Staring at the Sun, confronts the act of gazing directly at the sun where we enter a visual and physical unease, stimulating the artists desire for a created haze within the presentation.
