Welcome to Reality
The group exhibition in Berlin shows the world as it really is, captured by six artists, seen with their own eyes, understood with their hearts and interpreted with their minds.
October 08, 2024
Seeing the world with different eyes – that is what figurative painting allows us to do. It draws our attention to the detail, broadens our perspective or shows us a world as it could be, a world of possibilities, of dreams, of fantasy, perhaps a reality in the subjunctive, but in any case in the subjective of the artist who creates it. Six such subjective positions are brought together in this exhibition. All of them are contemporary and describe a section of our present, showing a spectrum of the topics that we are currently dealing with. You can discover agitated groups of people and tender intimacy, male camaraderie and great suffering, the light of the sun and the beauty of rain.
