Joe Bradley - Tobias Pils

About

This exhibition marks the American artist Joe Bradley‘s debut in the Berlin gallery, as well as the first time the two befriended artists’ work is being brought into dialogue with one another.

Bradley’s explosive and colorful abstract paintings meet Pils’ grey-toned, suggestively figurative scenes, revealing surprising contrasts and similarities between their respective individual and unique practices. Additionally, selected works on paper by Bradley and Pils are on view in the lower exhibition space, providing insight into a further dimension of the artists‘ oeuvres.
