Kristo von Bremke's painting moves at the intersection of color field, abstraction, and experimental materiality, capturing the pulse of the present. His large-format canvases are characterized by intense color gradients, subtle transitions, and the deliberate use of acrylic paint, spray paint, and organic substances such as pomegranate or aronia juice. Through these unconventional materials, he develops a visual language that is committed to the tradition of color field painting, while at the same time addressing current discourses on material aesthetics.
Katharina von Bülow creates works that exist in the tension between chance and control, between intuition and concept. Color flows, layers meet, forms emerge—and in this interplay, each painting awakens to its own movement.
The painting is spontaneous, emotional, and immediate, yet at the same time imbued with an inner order. It is fascinating to see how color seeks its own path and structures unfold when control is relinquished: wild, lively, and full of little secrets. Each work opens a dialogue with the unknown, an experiment between chaos and clarity that invites viewers to explore the traces of its creation.
DAG
DAG’s painting resists fixed meaning and clear attribution. Rather than depicting, it activates. By dissolving representation, his work opens a space beyond objects—countering art-historical convention with a practice grounded in process, disruption, and the unknown.
Working in acrylic on canvas, panel, or wall, he develops a restrained visual language of lines, circles, triangles, and spirals. Forms are layered, erased, and reworked; concealment and revelation unfold simultaneously. Technical virtuosity is secondary to repetition, chance, and the ongoing act of transformation.
Rooted in composition, his work explores how shapes and colors interact, shift, and respond to one another. Guided by emotion and memory, the paintings search for form through feeling rather than fixed intention.
Many works begin in sketchbooks. Their true surprise unfolds in the finished pieces, where elements settle and subtle details surface within the layers.
Maria Lunetto is a Berlin-based independent textile artist and behavioral scientist. Her practice explores interpersonal dynamics and inner psychological processes, reflecting on the complexity of relationships between friends, families, and lovers, as well as her own path as an emerging artist.
Drawing inspiration from her surroundings and personal reflection, she creates sculptures, wall pieces, and installations characterized by precision, minimalism, and subtle abstraction. Guided by intuition, meaning unfolds organically within her work.
