In this new exhibition Roy Mordechay dovetails his pictorial world with the physical space, which has the structure and ambiance of a three-room bel étage flat in an historical building. The presentation evolves in three series of paintings that were created in the period from 2022 to 2026.

We are delighted to begin the year 2026 by welcoming the PArt Foundation from Hamburg as our guest at the Van der Grinten Galerie. In a close curatorial collaboration with foundation founder Rene S.

We are delighted to invite you to Elger Esser’s fourth solo exhibition at the Van der Grinten Gallery. For this occasion, the artist is presenting twelve previously unseen works created between 2024 and 2025, which continue the development of his characteristic visual universe; a universe in which a strange feeling of timelessness prevails, captivating the viewer as if in a dream or vague memories.

Lorenzo Pompa’s main theme is the conditio humana, the readily observable horrifying human tendency towards violence, unrestraint, brutality and excesses. But also other evident human qualities, such as greatness of spirit, heroism and a yearning for beauty. To explore the field of tension between these poles Lorenzo Pompa has developed allegories of biomorphic bodies that appear to act according to the laws of their human psyche.
