Rosa Loy, Es Geht Weiter, 2018

Berlin Art Week and Art Berlin (the former Art Berlin Contemporary fair) kick off this week. As part of the Special Projects at this year’s fair, which includes a selection of twenty-eight galleries all presenting solo artists, Galerie Kleindienst from Leipzig will be showing works by Rosa Loy. “At some point, the painting is made on its own,” the German artist has previously said. “It calls together the best elements of my imagination so that in a sense I act as a craftsman, using my tools to bring the painting together. Hence I am often surprised by what my paintbrush painted.”
