This exhibition showcases works from the American period as well as from the last 3 years in Berlin. The theme is joyful sensuality, colors and textures coming together in free play between figuration and abstraction. It is a luminous and rich collection of works on canvas and paper.

From the 26th to the 28th of August 22, I exhibited with the Berlin art festival at the Blumentischlerei/Kuchentischlerei in Moabit. An exquisite summer journey joined the senses (vision, as visitors had their cake from a master baker and Berlin entrepreneur, surrounded by flowers and art.

In between two large abstract triptychs lie wave breaker rocks with rods wedged in between impaling two-headed carnivorous fools, canvas rags hanging from their necks. These two tripychs and installation grapple with the existence of the refugee camp Moria (Latin for Folly) and the Mediterranean, which embody an Enlightenment rationality that leaps and fails darkly, producing a schizophrenic place of leisure and mass grave.
Folly/ Moria II
The center and the periphery, order and chaos, delight and horror, these binaries influence the two triptychs. Folly/Moria II interprets a satellite image of the refugee camp Moria as a site where the imposed European order collapses, where lives are put on halt indefinitely.
