See you in Frankfurt!
Anna Beller (born 1984) is an experimental painter and architect from Berlin who works in Hanover. In her practice, she explores color relationships and transparencies in various painting techniques. Her “lacquer studies” oscillate between mechanical repetition and natural color flow—their clarity and conciseness become a source of strength and inspiration. Beller pours the paint without tools such as brushes or spatulas, allowing the pure act of painting to unfold its own dynamic, determined by gravity.Philipp Geist
Philipp Geist (born 1976) paints with light as if it were paint—and with paint as if it were light. His abstract compositions combine luminous fields of color, gestural brushwork, and multi-layered transparencies to create poetic visual rhythms. Since 1996, Geist has been realizing large-format light art and projection mapping projects worldwide. As a pioneer of projection mapping and winner of the German Light Art Award, he is one of the leading figures in contemporary light and media art.
Nico Hensel (born 1977) lives and works in Heidenheim. As a designer, Hensel works with a variety of techniques and styles. In his Cardboard series, he combines these approaches and pursues the concept of creating one work per day—deliberately in a short period of time and from leftover materials from previous projects. This results in an aesthetic of the everyday that simultaneously references waste and discovers new beauty in the supposedly worthless.
Paul Kuntze (born 1995) combines styles from different art historical periods with a contemporary lightness. In his series “Modern Fresco,” monumental sky scenes reminiscent of classic Baroque ceiling frescoes become abstract compositions in delicate pastel tones. The actual scene is only hinted at, leaving it up to the viewer's creativity.
Jette Leder (born 1983) explores the poetry of everyday life and the subtle gestures of human existence in her art. Her works examine the nuances of expression and seek the essence of being human—where closeness triggers both fascination and discomfort. Using traditional painting techniques and an expressive color palette, she reveals the raw beauty of existence. Her art is a tribute to the human body from a female perspective—an interplay of vulnerability and strength that invites reflection on one's own perception.
Alexander Lis (born 1983) lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. His works transform urban art and graffiti into minimalist compositions that combine vibrant colors with calm and balance. Alexander Lis's artistic journey has evolved from graffiti art to a refined practice rooted in gestural abstraction and urban aesthetics. His works explore the tension between chaos and structure, creating timeless pieces that invite reflection and transform spaces.
Friederike Meier, a painter from Berlin, makes femininity visible beyond norms. With the help of artificial intelligence, she creates photorealistic portraits in which strength and fragility overlap, anger and sadness merge with determination. These are snapshots, charged like an interrupted dialogue – a glance, an unspoken word. AI is more than just a tool here: in her precise prompts, Meier reveals the hidden beauty standards of the systems. She transfers the digital female bodies that emerge there into vibrant oil and acrylic paintings. On the canvas, they gain names, biographies, identities. Thus, the artificially generated image is transformed into a unique presence – a woman who never existed, yet cannot be forgotten.
Paul Schönfelder (born 1997) studies fine arts at the Berlin University of the Arts. He devotes himself to painting with acrylics, charcoal, and oils. His works oscillate between abstraction and figuration, exploring tensions, inner dynamics, and ambivalent behavior patterns. A central theme is the fragile dialogue between self and other—a process of friction, closeness, and dissolution.
