WHAT
This is the German artist’s (b.1984) second solo exhibition of paintings and drawings with the gallery, and her first in Paris. The selection of works marks a new starting point for the artist: a space of beginnings, clarity, and potential transformation, even catharsis. The format of many of the works are small oil or ink sketches on paper, which emphasises a personal, even intimate engagement with its subjects. The exhibition is a metaphor for a dream world – a portal to parallel states of being, and recalls the travels of Alice from Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through the Looking Glass’.

WHY
With colour playing a central role, the tones of red, pink, and ochre evoke the vitality of the human body. Stains and layered textures give the works a tactile, organic quality, blurring the line between dream and reality. The spontaneity in these marks symbolises a sense of letting the materials guide the outcome while retaining a focus on essential truths.
