Gabriele Musebrink • Ildefonso Aguilar • Anna & Roman Küffner • Christoph Jakob
Gabriele Musebrink’s works are lived transformation. Her intuitive process painting reflects the natural cycle of emergence and dissolution. Using materials such as pigments, marble dust, earth, oils, and waxes, she creates tactile, almost sculptural pictorial worlds. The powerful structure of her works arises through an interplay of layering, erosion, and revelation. Her art is not about rigid forms, but about the traces of change – visible, tangible testimonies of a continuous process. Her paintings invite us to surrender to the flow of transformation and to experience the depth of the moment.
The stillness of Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape finds its expression in Ildefonso Aguilar’s painting. His works are more than images – they are sound and movement, earth and light at once. Using natural materials such as volcanic ash and sand, he creates compositions of striking depth and structure that draw the viewer into a meditative world. Through delicate layers, landscapes emerge that convey not only the raw beauty of Lanzarote but also the archaic power of the elements. His art captures the moment while simultaneously allowing the infinite to be felt.
This question runs through the works of Anna and Roman Küffner, known as Blackbird Street. Their photographs reveal an aesthetics of absence, in which the past remains palpable. Abandoned clinics, barracks, villas, and hotels tell their own stories through light, structure, and decay – of lives that once pulsed, of memories that still echo in the walls.
Thanks to HDR technology, their images unfold an impressive depth and richness of detail, making them appear almost three-dimensional. This exhibition not only shows the decay of time, but also makes visible what remains – a quiet, melancholic beauty that allows the unseen to be sensed.
Christoph Jakob creates sculptures that preserve the raw power of stone while revealing its hidden beauty. He is particularly fascinated by granite and basalt – archaic, resilient materials that he brings into a sensitive dialogue with form and structure. His works are distinguished by the striking contrast between rough primality and precisely polished surfaces. Each stone is carefully selected, each fracture line deliberately shaped. In his recent works, he forms monumental compositions that invite exploration and wonder.
