We are showing the first museum exhibition of paintings and drawings by the artist Aren Shahnazaryan.

"The centre of my artistic work is to examine and question the creation of a picture using painterly means. In doing so, I always pursue the question of what influence the painter and the picture have on each other in the painting process. (...) I am not the only one who decides on the painting, but the painting also influences my decisions. It is an interactive process, a relationship between the observed object and its observer. This creates a tension that gains the unlimited from the small scale of the work..."

Christoph Tannert will speak at the opening on Friday, 16 January 2026. The artist will be present at the opening and a catalogue will be published.
