1 MAY until 20 JUN 2026
Opening – 1 MAY 2026, 6-9 pm

Tanya Leighton is pleased to present a new exhibition by Antonio Ballester Moreno for the 2026 edition of Gallery Weekend Berlin.

Ballester Moreno has developed a distinctive visual language rooted in the symbolism of the natural world. Stars, suns, vegetation, and water recur throughout his compositions, rendered in vivid hues of red, blue, green, and yellow. His work evokes a universe of primary color and elemental form, where raw materials such as unprocessed jute lend the paintings an austere physicality and singular beauty. While grounded in abstraction, his practice resonates with traditions of pattern-making, craft, and folkloric culture, each deeply connected to lived relationships with nature. At the core of this body of work is a sustained meditation on the material presence of the landscape, distilled into radically simplified forms. The paintings propose a contemporary approach to landscape as both image and contemplative object.

For the exhibition, the artist will produce a new series of paintings alongside a group of unique bronze sculptures, presented together for the first time.

Antonio Ballester Moreno (b. 1977, Madrid) lives and works in Madrid. His solo museum exhibition Heaven and Earth opens at Museo CA2M in Madrid on 11 April, shortly before Gallery Weekend Berlin, and will be accompanied by a new publication.
