Pictures of our current exhibition: Posts to this exhibition CV Marcela Böhm Marcela Böhm. Magical Reality. 3 October – 7 November, 2020
“My paintings include things, which contradict the motivic logic. This irritation is important for me, because life is like this. You always find disruptions in reality, magical or lyrical moments in everyday life, when you don’t understand anything and nothing fits together. But in the end everything joins to build a wonderful new scenery.”Marcela Böhm …

“Objektive sensory knowledge is not possible.

The new paintings by Berlin artist Simone Haack open up paradoxical worlds.

CV Dirk Salz DIRK SALZ. Resin. 24 October – 14 November, 2015
