Steffen Kern
Steffen Kern's (1988) body of work consists of drawings made with ink, charcoal and oil pastels. Kern's art is permeated by a photographic aesthetic, which he invokes by applying photographic elements such as blooming and depth of field. By drawing on his own memories for inspiration, the artist tries to speak to the beholder's collective pictorial memory. This is why his images often become recognizable to the beholder: we have already seen them in films, photographs, or real life.
This year Rutger Brandt Gallery introduced Steffen to our clients, with a successful solo show throughout the final months of 2020!

Carlos Sagrera
-
The main subject of Carlos Sagrera's paintings are interiors; different spaces of a home in which time seems to have stood still. The way in which the the artist depicts these interiors invokes a certain familiarity within the beholder. The spaces evoke associations with the past and as a viewer you wonder if the interiors really existed, or if they are merely a creation by the artist.

Carlos Sagrera has had numerous shows in our gallery
Likewise, we've shown his works at many artfairs over the last few years. -

Sagrera's art has decked our gallery walls and accompanied us to multiple artfairs throughout the years! Here's an overview

Sebastian Hosu’s paintings and drawings are set in natural surroundings, though for the artist, nature also includes urban leisure facilities like playgrounds, parks or outdoor pools. The figures in his paintings gradually meld into the image spaces, dissolving into abstraction, to form inseparable connections with the media of painting and drawing. The brush strokes that break through the barriers of form and the chalk wiping technique that dissolves their form, are ever-present features of the style. All that remains of the original photos are mysterious fragmented bodies.
'In my paintings, memories of a natural presence emerge. The bodies of humans, animals and also the landscapes are imbued with something primordial – as if the clash of nature and culture never happened.' - Sebastian Hosu

Radenko Milak
-
Radenko Milak's practice as an artist has always been heavily influenced by the idea that our relationship to the world and its history is largely determined by the uninterrupted and continuous flow of images that documents the world. By consciously translating existing images from one medium to another, Milak reinforces the message of the original image. This process allows him to transfer messages from the past to the present, stimulating the viewer to re-evaluate forgotten and invisible realities. As such, topics like major world catastrophes, wars, global environmental crises, groundbreaking social and cultural events and political issues are prominent in Milak’s work.
Over the past year, Radenko Milak has created works to depict the reality of the world during the COVID-19 crisis. We are excited to show these incredible new artworks!
