Anne Buckwalter paints realms of the subtly unexpected. As minutely detailed as they are charmingly mysterious, her paintings are visual delights that draw the viewer into the dainty homes of strangers, whose strangeness reveals itself, one detail at the time.

Almine Rech is pleased to announce Caligothek. Drawing inspiration from the Latin term “caligo,” which refers to fog, mist, and dimness of sight, Bitzer’s seventh solo exhibition with the gallery comprises a site-specific intervention on the façade of its Turenne location and a series of dynamic double-sided paintings. The exhibition title hints at the elusive nature of perception, where the present moment remains veiled in ambiguity, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on what lies beyond.

For his seventh exhibition at Mennour, Swiss artist David Hominal (born in 1976) is showing a recent series of paintings under the title Cosmos suite. They are based on a body of work commissioned to the artist in the summer of 2023, which itself echoed the older series Sunflowers (made during a residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam in 2010), Hands (2019), No titre 2021 (2020), and Feuilles mortes Still Life (2021).
Hominal has taken the flowers in the garden he keeps next to his Berlin studio as his subject, freely grafting together the traditions of expressionism and figuration. His garden is a necessary daily retreat, as much a place of cultivation and meditation as a theme in his work. These paintings, in which oversized cosmoses appear to spill over a few seeds, have been made from videos in which Hominal has often preferred a flow of images to static shots.

In the exhibition HIGH, Sies + Höke presents new works by the Berlin-based artist Henning Strassburger. Known as one of the leading protagonists of his generation in the discourse on abstract painting, Strassburger integrates the insights gained from his previous works into a new cycle of paintings. Since 2020, representative elements are clearly recognisable in his series of grey paintings. These seemingly abstract lines are representative amplifications of figurative ink drawings, enlarged by the artist via projections directly onto the canvas. The supposedly spontaneous gesture of the line became a calculated and critical questioning of abstract painting. Christian Malycha described this as “manipulative markmaking”. The critical attitude towards pure gesture led Strassburger to an analytical abstraction that, with references to an external narration, elevated the image beyond the depicted to a more narrative level. The artist comments: “Gestural painting is only sexy in combination with youthfulness”.
