JULIA SOSSINKA //

MARCH 15 – MAY 31, 2024

Whether paper, cardboard, ink, oil or acrylic – JULIA SOSSINKA, the young master student of Prof. Markus Lüpertz plays with the performative and sculptural potential of art and translates sensory impressions from nature into the language of abstraction in her very own way.
Sossinka’s fascination with the power, versatility and independence of nature is reflected in her art. Her latest works are small and heavy and almost too good to be hung on the wall. They want to be held in the hand and turned and twisted. They are the manifestation of walks through landscapes never before entered.

And there are shimmering mosaics reminiscent of a school of small fish or a sea of petals, made of overlapping, ink-soaked watercolor cardboard. Some of them grow into the 3rd dimension, forming spirals, arches, undercuts and seeming to cancel out gravity.

MAX MALLENDER
March 16 – May 31, 2024

MAX MALLENDER’s painting style is impetuous, spontaneous and deliberately imperfect. Whether large or small formats – his works exude serenity, impartiality and generosity.

Similar to Cy Twombly, Mallender uses “a few blobs and a few splashes and a pencil stroke here and there” (Donald Judd after a visit to a Cy Twombly exhibition at the Leo Castelli Gallery, New York) and achieves an emotional quality through a supposed lack of intention, which tells of lost innocence, for example. His plant portraits in particular describe the gap between lost paradise and the rough pavement of the big cities somewhere on Earth.
