EXOgallery is proud to annonce its participation in Art Karlsruhe 2026, Germany’s second-largest art fair. Between February 4th and 8th, we will present works by several gallery artists with a special focus on the extensive one:artist presentation by Marina Wittemann.
Within the group show we will put on view Timo Grimm, Maria Kozak, and Valo Valentino. Additionally, in the paper:square section we will be presenting the latest series of Beate Christine Winkler. In the start:block section for young collectors Lydiane Lutz presents her recent canvas.
Marina Wittemann’s (*1984 in Moscow, Russia) installation for the one:artist show examines how media shape our perception. Newspapers become expansive, color-dynamic sculptural forms; the Colour Fields series opens transitions from darkness to light, while the new works Vessels—reconstructed from fragments of earlier pieces—bring together materiality, memory, and transformation.
Timo Grimm (*1990 in Hamburg, Germany) transforms traditional painting into object-like pictorial bodies making use of trompe l’oeil style. His works, reminiscent of Delft tiles, are precise oil paintings whose real fractures—created by deliberately breaking and reforming the stretcher frames—intensify the illusion of ceramic surfaces.
Maria Kozak’s (*1980 in Cracow, Poland) oil paintings are intuited, psychological landscapes of figures that exist beyond the conventional boundaries of time, space, and identity. Driven by existential inquiries into the nature of reality, Kozak’s work embraces the full spectrum of human experience—from the sacred to the profane.
Valo Valentino (*1987 in Cuernavaca, Mexico) merges sound research, painting, and sculpture into synesthetic visual artworks. Drawing on the relationship between frequency and color wavelength, he creates works in which musical structures are translated into chromatic energies, intertwining art, music, and cultural ecology. Artist’s new body of work will celebrate its first public reveal.
Beate Christine Winkler (*1960 in Ulm, Germany), who had her large solo presentation at the Art Karlsruhe last year in the section re:discover, will be presenting her latest series in the Hall 3 in the paper:square designated specifically to artists working with paper media.
Lydiane Lutz (*1981 in Stuttgart, Germany) merges abstraction and figuration into open, floating images on canvas and Plexiglass.
