Marieta Chirulescu

1 MAY until 30 MAY 2026
Opening – 1 MAY 2026, 6-9 pm

On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin, the gallery is pleased to present its second exhibition with Marieta Chirulescu. Known for her abstract works exploring processes of reproduction, erasure, and the instability of the image, Chirulescu navigates the intersections of painting, digital manipulation, collage, and printmaking. While many of her contemporaries use the digital realm as a primary tool, Chirulescu treats digital imagery as an extrinsic reference, incorporating it into her work.

Her practice is defined by the “static noise” of subtle, mostly restrained colors that often occupy the majority of the canvas. In these seemingly negative spaces, Marieta Chirulescu intervenes primarily in the marginal areas, often incorporating mundane fragments of reality. By engaging with painting’s core problem—its inherent flatness—she utilizes layering to drive the process of flattening perspective and realistic imitation to its final stage of an autonomous form.

The resulting works achieve a high degree of abstraction without denying their fundamental ability to represent. It is in the space between these physical and conceptual layers that the intrinsic capacity of Chirulescu’s work becomes visible, revealing a depth that exists in multiple dimensions.
