Konnekt.Berlin, ‘Galerie/Tankstelle’ is proud to present the two-person exhibition ‘Paint and Grain’ with the Berlin-based artists Nelson Jamal and Mischa Fanghaenel. This first exhibition to be hosted at this unique location will include painting and drawings by Jamal, as well as photography by Fanghaenel.
Jamal and Fanghaenel’s seemingly disparate works come together in the exhibition ‘Paint and Grain’. Both artists capture their interest in the pulsating energy of the city in their own way.
Each artist uses their chosen medium to present us with a personal view of their world, and the city they live in. They attempt to show us another side - for Fanghaenel this might be the beauty in the banal. Through his lens, the lamppost we have seen a thousand times is softened, abstracted to the point of nonrecognition. Jamal’s figures can be seen as universal figures - illustrating the strong and weak moments we have all experienced in life.
Each artist expands to take on other themes as well. Fanghaenel’s recent work has moved into portrait photography, where his sensitive eye has accompanied a friend through his battle with chemotherapy. This new work is strong, yet manages to avoid the sentimental. He portrays his subject with dignity, again managing to bring beauty into a difficult theme.
