In 2023, exhibitions of the painter Sarah Schumann (1933-2019) followed. In 2024, exhibitions by Sigrid Kopfermann (1923-2011) and Anna Zemánková (1908-1986) will be presented.
The gallery also represents a permanent list of international artists focused on painting, drawing, and photography, including Anna Zemánková, Alexandra Duprez, Eric Cruikshank, Carlos Arias, Olivier Richon, Michela Ghisetti, Chen Ruo Bing, Huang Yuan Qing, Michael Toenges, Peter Tollens, Veronika Holcová, Peter Bialobrzeski, Michael Kenna, Silke Leverkühne.
She began the gallery's work with contemporary art from the United States, exhibiting Peter Halley, Allan McCollum, Ross Bleckner, Jonathan Borofsky, Suzan Etkin, among others. She also gave Tom Wood, Evelyn Atkin, Julian Opie, Gerold Miller and Günter Umberg their first solo exhibition in Germany. It featured drawings by Peter Roehr, Francesco Clemente and photographer Martin Parr
Presentation of the artist in focus
Alexandra Duprez has developed an intuitive approach to drawing and painting, drawing inspiration from outsider art and folk art. In her images, she evokes a phantasmagorical world close to a dream, populated by disturbing creatures, entangled shapes and multiplied eyes, between figuration and abstraction. At the centre of his work is the human body, a body that splits, fades away and transforms, to become a constantly changing being, half-animal, half-vegetable. By adding and covering, layer after layer, the artist creates what she calls "shreds of images", fragments of a constantly reinvented history with abundant ramifications. The eye wanders, as if into a metaphorical forest born from the artist's unconscious.
