RAINER FETTING
EDITIONS 1976 – 1992
Friday, 16 December 2022
5 – 9 p.m.
We are delighted to invite you to a presentation of early editions by Rainer Fetting.
All of the multiples were created between 1976 - 1992 and show land- and seascapes as well as nudes and city scenes.
Rainer Fetting (*1949, Wilhelmshaven, DE) achieved international success with the "Neue Wilden" in the early 1980s. His art, which formed towards the end of the 1970s with its expressionist painting against conventions of abstract and conceptual art, is highly relevant again today. Fetting's work has been - and still is - a decisive precursor for "q***r" discourses around gender, identity, the individual, and power.

Fillip Henin
Regarding Past at Noon
Opening
Friday, 13 January 2023
6 – 9 p.m.
Exhibition on view
14 January – 4 March 2023
We are pleased to invite you to the opening of the first solo exhibition by Filip Henin at the gallery. New paintings - all created in 2022 - will be on view.
Filip Henin dedicates his work to the unconscious, mystical interrelations between human beings and their natural grown and manmade environments. With a great sensitivity for color, light, and contrasting silhouettes, Henin paints on different material, such as wood, polyester and canvas.
The depicted figures and animals are entangled in obscure actions, staged in front of landscapes and architectures that seem to be undefined and exaggerated at the same time, forming the ground of a narration that is just about to turn.
Filip Henin (b. 1986, German) lives and works in Berlin. In 2015 he graduated from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Braunschweig, Germany, where he studied in the class of Walter Dahn.

Booth Pink B, No. 26
3 Nov - 6 Nov, 2022
We are delighted to announce our participation at Artissima, featuring three new, large scale paintings by Brandon Lipchik.
Sirens, Storms, and flying Saucers emerge in Lipchiks new works as he plays with fragmented figurative bodies engaged with natural, the supernatural, and mythological forces. Although heroic in scale the paintings are stripped of white male heroism. Awkward figures are disembodied amongst q***ring digitized narratives in digitized theater sets. Ideas of camp and humor come forward theater sets. Ideas of camp and humor come forward as notions of little green men and seductive sirens play with irony.

Opening Reception
Friday, 11 November 2022
6 – 9 pm
12 November – 23 December 2022
The artworks of painter Sevina Tzanou are energetic and powerful pieces of painting. Painted with gestural, scratchy brushstrokes, her mid and large format canvases reveal scenes from nightlife, bars, strip clubs and burlesque theaters.
For her first solo show at the gallery, entitled „Parties I am not invited to“, Tzanou presents a series of new large scale paintings, that build a panoramic night life party scene along the gallery walls. Her portraits of dynamically formed figures are in movement, dancing, posing and shape bold silhouettes, sometimes morphing into each other. Her sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily dressed protagonists, women most of it, sit, stand and pose in groups as if they are on stage or – strangely enough – are the audience themselves. There is an element of drama and drag, an opulent costume show with fierce high heels, heavy make up and big hair. The oil paintings of the artist, who lives and works in Bonn and Athens, reference a variation of classics: one thinks of the masqueraded figure groups by James Ensor, the painting Carmencita (1924) by Iovis Corinth, the expressionistic sceneries by Ludwig Kirchner and the composition of Francis Bacons morphing heads and grotesque figures in front of bold color field background. One could even draw a line to the „Jungen Wilden“ group of Berlin’s q***r and punk movement in the 1980s. Despite all the rich references, Tzanou has a reoccurring discourse, that tackles concepts and representations of femininity as a socially shaped, performative model of gender and has carved out a world through painting that one wants to be invited to.
Sevina Tzanou, born 1994 in Greece, has studied in Düsseldorf under Katharina Grosse. She lives and works in Bonn, DE, and Athens, GR.

Opening Reception
Friday, 11 November 2022
6 – 9 pm
12 November – 23 December 2022
A swan partly costumed in meat loaf and sausages, a pig’s skull on a tray crowned with a pine apple looking dazed and confused - welcome to the fantastical creatures from Dominika Bednarsky.
In „Up to no Gouda“, Bednarsky's first exhibition at the gallery, the Frankfurt-based artist assembles a survey of glazed ceramic objects that she has made over the last three years. Selected pieces from different existing series and new large scale objects reveal Bednarsky's diverse and unconventional practice of ceramic handcraft. What makes her work so special is her surprising choice of motives, masterfully crafted – have you ever seen a ceramic floor sculpture resembling a neatly mawn lawn? In „Rasen“, the artist combined 9 tiles made of thousands delicately formed grass stalks with a Carl Andre kind of vibe. Juxtaposed is a large piece depicting a rock populated by several small mice in colorful shirts and shorts. In another body of work the artist created miniatures of animal furs that are unfolding on the floor and the gallery wall.
Her arrangements with comical and happy-sad connotations stir up 17th century still life vanitas and fuse with contemporary and pop cultural references to absurdity of a hedonistic consumer and everyday kitsch culture. Looking at her unique objects, a momentum of artificiality of contemporary life and sentiment of nature and real emotions blend just as irritating as touching.
Dominika Bednarsky, born 1994 in Schweinfurt, DE, lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. She has studied at the Offenbach University of Art and Design under Heiner Blum and Mike Bouchet.

Stills
This Saturday, 5 November 2022
Robert Grunenberg is pleased to present “Stills”, an exhibition with new, large-scale works by Anna Virnich. The artist is known for her delicate tableaus composed with different textiles. Starting from abstract painting, Virnich creates an emotionally charged pictorial space by using contrasting materialities and different textures. For the first time, painterly elements with figurative references now appear in the artist's work.
Anna Virnich (*1984) lives and works in Berlin. In 2014 she graduated from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Braunschweig in the class of Walter Dahn. Her works have been shown in many solo and group exhibitions, such as the Schering Stiftung, Berlin; Sammlung Philara, Düsseldorf; Bonner Kusntverein, Bonn; Kunstverein Schloss Morsbroich, Leverkusen. Works are among others part of the Philara Collection, Düsseldorf; Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes, Berlin; and Osthaus Museum in Hagen, Germany. In 2017, Virnich was part of the longlist for the Preis der Neuen Nationalgalerie, Berlin, and was most recently awarded with the Strike A Pose Award, Düsseldorf.

Today 40 years ago the exhibition “Zeitgeist” opened at Gropius Bau in Berlin, featuring large scale paintings by Rainer Fetting and other artist such as
Polke, Baselitz, Lüpertz, Hacker, Middendorf, Dahn, Kiefer, Immendorff, Tannert, Salomé, Bömmels, Dokoupil, Hödicke, Koberling, Büttner, Höckelmann and Penck, curated by Christos M. Joachimides and Norman Rosentahl.
“The year was 1982, seven years before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Christos M. Joachimides, a Greek art historian, and Norman Rosenthal, from London’s Royal Academy, organized what was arguably one of the most historically significant global painting surveys of the 20th century. “Zeitgeist” was the term chosen to define the title of this momentous exhibition. Held in the center of Berlin at the Martin-Gropius-Bau, a former arts and crafts museum of the Prussian State, “Zeitgeist” brought together 45 of the worlds’ most driven and symbolically heroic artists of the moment.” From John Newsom, Flash Art

Kunstpalais presents "Brandon Lipchik“ Moonbeams of Allegory", the first international institutional solo exhibition of the US artist.
The most recent paintings and VR installations by New York and Berlin-based artist Brandon Lipchik, show something new and sometimes uncanny: his anonymous figures leave behind the orderly civilization with its fenced-in front yards and square pools of his previous works and plunge freely into erotic adventures surrounded by nocturnal nature. Even nature itself gradually becomes an active protagonist. More often appear animalistic figures in action with his anonymous avatars as well as unpopulated landscape paintings in which nature stands entirely for itself for the first time. Like a director in a theater, the artist presents his scenes on stage-like platforms and lets them shine through spotlights in neon-colored light shows alluding to Berlin nightlife. Lipchik's retro-digital compositions, which are also reminiscent of computer game graphics from the 1980s and 1990s, are created in digital 3D animation programs and finally transferred to canvas through analog painting processes. In addition to Lipchik's new paintings and poems, the exhibition at Kunstpalais also features two new VR installations, shown for the first time.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a richly illustrated publication published by Hatje Cantz Verlag in August 2022. As the artist’s first catalog, it offers not only the documentation of the show at Kunstpalais but also an overview of Lipchik’s oeuvre to date. With a foreword by Kunstpalais director Amely Deiss, texts by curator Tamara Reitz and journalist Oliver Koerner von Gustorf, and an interview with the artist, conducted by Kristian Vistrup Madsen.
