We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at 7 p.m.
The artist will be present.
An introduction will be given by gallery owner and art historian Dr. Isabelle Lesmeister.
In his third solo exhibition at Galerie Isabelle Lesmeister, Nico Sawatzki (born in Regensburg in 1984) presents new works that deal with the fragility of perception and the fleeting nature of the moment. His painting deliberately balances between concretion and dissolution, between atmospheric density and open emptiness.
Through layered glazes, broken color fields, and subtle textures, pictorial spaces emerge in which possible landscapes or architectural fragments are hinted at—without being defined. The motifs seem to float, as if they were about to appear or disappear.
The title Wie es ist kann es sein (“How it is it can be“) refers to the openness of this painterly world. It emphasizes not the fixed, but the possible—the image as a place in between, where perception is not complete, but in motion.
Sawatzki’s works elude quick readability. They invite us to pause, to resonate mentally. Amidst a loud, accelerated present, his painting asserts a quiet, poetic power—and opens up a space for the viewer in which seeing once again becomes a conscious experience.
A catalog will be published to accompany the exhibition.
