After exhibitions in New York, Paris, and Milan, Fabien Dettori returns to Berlin with Whispers of the Muses, on view at Gallery GH36 from April 5 to 30, 2025. Blending photography with a painter’s sensibility, Dettori crafts timeless compositions where chiaroscuro meets delicate gold accents, evoking the spirit of Rodin, Freud, or Ingres. His work explores impermanence, memory, and the interplay of light and shadow, revealing the poetic in cracks, textures, and fleeting forms. Between intimate still lifes and raw, expressive nudes, Dettori captures the tension between fragility and strength, the personal and the universal. The exhibition features never-before-seen works, including unique pieces with gold leaf, acrylic, and Polaroids, alongside hand-finished prints on cotton paper. Whispers of the Muses offers a sensory and emotional journey—an intimate dialogue between image, space, and viewer.
that title popped up into my head a while ago. i always collect sentences, using them as titles. often a long time before i use them. the title of an art work for me is always important. i got taken in into art school becuase of the creativity of my titles. so the title also influnces the work itself. i was working with sticker tape for a couple of years but after a while i really got fed up with this medium. so i did some drawings etc but couldnt really get into this very obsessive mood wich i need to keep going. i got frustrated and bored of the taping process. so i cont really work for a while besides experimenting. one morning my neighbor had a big ball of wool in her hands and asked me, if i had any use for it. i said sure, why not. my grandma taught me how to knit and crochet etc. and i was remembering that feeling when i did crocheting as a kid. it took all of my anxiety. so after that ball of wool was lying on my table for a couple of weeks, i got so stressed out by my private life that i took it and – started. i couldnt stop. it felt like heaven. also, because it slowed me down. wool isnt a very elegant medium for me and wool clothes are not really interesting or makeing them. i had the idea to get my aestetics into this rather rustique material. i wanted to go big. i felt like the farmers daughter in the fairytale ‘rumpelstilzchen’- she had the gift of makeing gold out of straw. all my anxiertes and worries were gone. so why did i call the show ‘last options’? because it was exactly the feeling that i had befor i grabbed the wool and started. ive got nothing to lose. just do it. nowadays the title fits very well to current times, politics or whatever. so what would you do, in a moment of ‘last option’ vibe? some people jump of the cliff – i started crocheting. i also find the whole medium quite ‘punk’ in a way. in times of multimedia and AI, there is that woman who slows down and creats stripes, useless objects made out of wool. i like that. luxury starts when things are kind of unnescessary, without use but captivating and entertaining, or whatever. also time is luxury for some people. eventhough i think thats overrated. time and luxury and tech. i am not sure how this medium will develop or if i make another series. i am at least curious and not scared of new materials. yeah, id say about myself that in a way i am an obsessive-compulsive neurotic. and i like it.”

Her works are mainly abstract, geometrical and colorful. After working with sticker tape, she discovered wool as a new material. The material is always important. There must be some sort of obsession for the material. That’s when the process starts.
As an artist, she thinks that everything should be absorbed like being a sponge. No matter if its anxiety or architecture.
Glinka lives and works mainly in Berlin and London UK

EUREKA – Patrice Lambeau
Patrice Lambeau* Is a Swiss born artist that has made an impact on the contemporary art scene through his experimental approach that merges traditional fine art techniques with innovative digital technology. This unique combination allows him to create dynamic and visually striking works that transcend conventional boundaries in art.
Lambeau’s philosophy of art as a dialogue between the artist and their perception of the world encourages viewers to engage with his pieces on a deeper emotional level. He describes the creative process as “sculpting emotions through a series of creative decisions,” which invites audiences to reflect on their own experiences and interpretations of art. „For me, making art is the process of discovering beauty, meaning, urgency, humor and a way to explore our social and political climate”.
By exhibiting internationally and participating in various art fairs, Lambeau has contributed to the dialogue surrounding modern art, encouraging a more inclusive understanding of artistic expression.
The upcoming exhibition at GH36 from Oct 2-12, 2024 entitled „Eureka“ considers the no-thought delightful moments of truth or magical human discovery of the steps that lead to completion and fulfillment as a creative individual. As it comes to decision, each one is perceived as a golden moment.
ART TO GO
Group exhibition of three experienced Berlin based artists focused on their work of the self, the alter-ego and dreams of distorted desire. Has art just become a coffee to-go or how does one define the quality and value of what we are to enjoy and bring reflection.
Spent examines the compulsive insatiability of the industrial processes of extraction and consumption. Through a dialogue of photography and sculpture, this exhibition presents the brutal traces left by humanity on natural landscapes alongside monolithic sugar sculptures deployed as disruptors of Berlin’s post-war monocultural forests.
Liz Miller Kovacs’ visceral photography captures the remains of sites ravaged by excavation and remaining pollution, revealing the devastating effects of industrialized greed. Her latest works, printed on metal sheets, contrast with her earlier, more vibrant photographs, creating a visual autopsy of environmental degradation.
Richard Green’s industrially refined sugar sculptures, including grainy nighttime trail cam footage shot in Brandenburg, underscore the artificiality of our environment and the impact of human intervention in nature.
4 Jul-14 Jul 2024
Open: Wednesday-Sunday 14:00-18:00 and by appointment
Ammar Abaza is a critical digital artist based in Berlin. He sheds light on the downfalls of urban life and how is it redrawn and manipulated. His work follows a pantological methodology, stemming from different fields of art, concept design, illustration, architecture, and technical design. In addition to being very dark, captivating, and unique, his artwork is also based on research that he does in the urban design field. Ammar uses art as a critical tool, otherwise known as ‘critical Dystopias’ to translate urban issues from specialist to artistic and more concrete form, to help raise awareness of the issues and dangers that are vague now, but would have very dire consequences down the road.
For this exhibition, the gallery will be open daily from 14-18 or by appointment. (Closed Monday) Feel free to contact us.
What might you do if you were forced to make a change? This coming Friday evening June 23rd from 19:30pm, artist Miriam Glinka reveals stories from her drawings such as “Damaged Superstar or Like shit flies in a bell jar.” This collection of drawings were made “lefty” by Ms. Glinka after her right collar bone and hand broke and opened her world with continued desire to push on with her artistic works. We welcome you in seeking the arts of living.
Andrea Colitti, born in Rome, began creating and tinkering as a child and hasn’t stopped. Following his studies and work in electrical engineering, he chose a path of seeking the use of advanced art techniques to push self-taught borders seeking to realize and reflect his life through the works.
With previous residencies in London, Paris and now local in Berlin, he is in the midst of studies with light and colors and alternative recycled materials. In the exhibition and installation Lightbild, one can see how the change in light allow for a different view and to reveal an array of colors, although they are the same images. How we see people or concepts within reflected light or communications. Colitti is known for his shadow people, detailed scenes of his life and music.
Other than his painted works with complimentary lights, in the center of the room is the a/v helmut module installation: “Stagemask.” Play yourself and see yourself in an altered view.
Friday, Feb 10, 2023 Colitti will be in the Galerie offering Portraits on his new analog machine, drawing portraits through perspectives of an altered lens on plastic reprinted via Screenprint or digital scan. Open from 15uhr with Event begin at 20uhr.
Feel free to email for an appointment or for pricing catalog of works. Thank you for your interest.
