In the new group exhibition, Galerie Deschler is presenting works by five promising young artists who live and work in Berlin: Anna Nezhnaya, Noah Becker, Fedor Deichmann, Roman Frechen and Lennart Grau. Despite the obvious differences in their very individual approaches, similarities quickly emerge on closer inspection. With diverse and creative approaches, they enter into a dialogue both with the past that shapes their present, and with the rich and colorful flood of images our contemporary culture keeps producing, recycling, transforming and depositing in the wide world of the (social) media and the depths of the Internet. In the context of an age of global multicultural eclecticism, it of course makes perfect sense to take advantage, for reinterpretations and transformations, of the treasure chest of visual material from the most diverse sources, traditions and cultural circles. With detours and references across art history and pop culture, from Rococo paintings to Expressionism and contemporary manga aesthetics, they integrate these found gems into their own personal vision. Paradoxically, the borrowings from a multitude of visual traditions and contexts can be read simultaneously in very different or even contradictory ways: as a nostalgic evocation of spatially or temporally distant living environments perceived as more homogeneous in comparison to the present; as an ironic reflection of a kind of Babylonian confusion of languages in the visual realm, which has become increasingly widespread since postmodernism; but also as a relaxed approach to this reality, which is now taken for granted and accepted as such.
