Gerhard Richter’s STRIP-TOWER (2023) at Serpentine South represents a remarkable fusion of his artistic past and present, transforming his 1990 squeegee painting through a complex digital process into an immersive architectural installation. The work began with photographing and scanning an earlier abstract painting, then dividing it into increasingly fine vertical strips that were ultimately translated onto ceramic tiles covering two intersecting panels. This innovative structure creates a space visitors can enter, while its glossy surfaces reflect both the audience and the surrounding Royal Parks - a clever evolution of Richter’s longstanding interest in reflection and repetition, previously explored in his 2008 Serpentine exhibition “4900 Colours.” The installation masterfully bridges Richter’s six-decade exploration of painting, photography, and digital reproduction while adding an exciting new dimension of public interaction and architectural space, making it a significant addition to Serpentine’s historic public art program.

In the “The space {between}”, Zeinab Saleh’s paintings transform everyday domestic scenes—embroidered linens, sleeping pets, patterned prayer mats—into quietly mysterious compositions. Details like a cat’s soft fur or a lace handkerchief convey a sense of stillness that draws the viewer in.

Her process combines intuition and chance: she lays down light washes of acrylic, presses crumpled fabrics and plant cuttings onto the surface, then subtly defines recognizable figures—ghostly hands, dimly lit interiors, or a poised crocodile—resulting in a dreamlike blend of the familiar and the hidden.

Focusing on “in-between” moments of daily life, she presents ordinary objects in ways that feel both recognizable and magical. Large paintings interspersed with smaller works encourage viewers to notice fine details and spontaneous “found” moments. Weaving in cultural and cosmic symbols, she hints at universal themes within the privacy of home.

Youngju Joung’s paintings in “Way Back Home” depict Korean shanty towns, blending personal memory with historical reflection. Using hanji paper—an ancient Korean material known for its durability and warmth—she creates textured canvases that mirror the fragile yet resilient structures of old neighborhoods. Her works capture scenes at dusk and dawn, with glowing lights symbolizing warmth, humanity, and connection amidst urban transformation. While deeply rooted in Korean culture, Joung’s work resonates universally, echoing similar struggles in shanty towns worldwide. Way Back Home is both a personal and global reflection on memory, resilience, and the enduring light of human connection

The exhibition “About Painting”, featuring new works by Andreas Schulze (1955, Germany) alongside paintings by Salvo (1947–2015, Italy), highlights their parallel paths and contributions to contemporary painting. Both artists create distinctive worlds—Schulze through playful, surreal domestic scenes and Salvo through bright, tranquil landscapes informed by Italian art history. Schulze’s paintings explore space, form, and abstraction, while Salvo’s journey led from early conceptualism to vividly colored oil painting inspired by traditions ranging from Giotto and Botticelli to Futurism and Surrealism. Both use lighting, perspective, and color to create depth and atmosphere, often suggesting human presence through the objects and architectural elements in their compositions.
