Marie Louise Elshout – Vanitas #4 In Vanitas #4 M

Marie Louise Elshout – Vanitas #4

In Vanitas #4 Marie Louise Elshout links the extraordinary story of the albino alligator Ophelia with the tradition of Vanitas painting. The animal was found at Munich Airport inside a suitcase, wrapped entirely in plastic with only two small openings to breathe. That she survived at all is a small miracle.

Elshout takes the classical Vanitas motif of transience and translates it into a poetically charged present. The figure appears as if emerging from a 19th century daguerreotype, from an era “caught between technical innovation and lingering old worldviews.”

Elshout’s hybrid beings, which “draw their strength from folklore, rituals and the subconscious,” oscillate between care, strangeness and quiet intensity. The luminous pink of the alligator becomes a delicate counterforce to the dark human figure.

One of the subtle yet precise questions the work poses is this: What does protection mean, and who is protecting whom? @marielouiseelshoutart

James Johnston’s paintings are condensed emotional

James Johnston’s paintings are condensed emotional states. Mythic, direct, and charged with energy.
His figurative scenes merge the raw with the poetic: bold colours, loose structures, and an immediacy that brings the unconscious to the surface. Animals, nocturnal landscapes, and solitary figures become mirrors of human experience suspended between archetype, atmosphere, and fleeting moment.

Zum ersten Advent zeigen wir „My Black Rhinoceros

Zum ersten Advent zeigen wir „My Black Rhinoceros Bird“ eine der markanten Figuren aus Elshouts Hybrid-Serie, in der Folklore, 19. Jahrhundert und psychologische Tiefenschichten ineinander greifen. Zugleich sind Werke aus ihrer Vanitas-Serie zu sehen, die den Blick noch stärker auf Vergänglichkeit, Ritual und Erinnerung richten.
Elshout formuliert es selbst so: „Fairytales are a different subject, they deal with the subconscious and secret desires.“
Genau diese Spannung zwischen Unterbewusstem und kulturellem Erbe macht ihre Bildwelten so eigenständig.

In der Ausstellung begegnen Elshouts Arbeiten den expressiven Papier und Leinwandwerken von James Johnston sowie den intimen Schreibmaschinen Arbeiten von Peter Doherty.

Heute, am 1. Advent, ist die Galerie von 11–17 Uhr geöffnet mit hausgemachtem Glühwein.

For the first Advent we are showing „My Black Rhinoceros Bird“ one of the striking figures from Elshout’s Hybrid Series where folklore, the nineteenth century and inner psychological states flow into one another. Works from her Vanitas Series are also on view which deepen the focus on transience ritual and memory.
Elshout puts it clearly in her Q and A: “Fairytales are a different subject they deal with the subconscious and secret desires.”
This tension between the subconscious and cultural tradition is what gives her visual worlds their distinctive presence.

The show brings together Elshout’s paintings with the expressive works on paper and on canvas by James Johnston and the intimate typewriter works by Peter Doherty.

Today for the first Advent the gallery is open from 11 to 17 with homemade mulled wine.

Die kleinformatigen Papierarbeiten von James Johns

Die kleinformatigen Papierarbeiten von James Johnston zeigen eine unmittelbare, unterwegs entstandene Bildsprache, spontane Gesten, Rohheit, Intensität. In Halbe Distanzrahmen @halberahmen entfalten sie eine besondere Präsenz: Die räumliche Tiefe macht jede Spur auf dem Papier sichtbar und verleiht den Arbeiten eine präzise, fast museale Fassung.

Im Dialog mit den vielschichtigen Bildwelten von Marie Louise Elshout und den Schreibmaschinenarbeiten von Peter Doherty entsteht ein dreistimmiges Gefüge zwischen Intimität und Textur.

Die Ausstellung ist Dienstag–Samstag 12-18 Uhr geöffnet und an den ersten drei Adventssonntagen von 11–17 Uhr mit hausgemachtem Glühwein.

The small works on paper by James Johnston capture the immediacy of moments on the road raw gestures, quick marks, concentrated intensity. Presented in Halbe distance frames, they gain a striking depth: the spacing reveals every texture and gives the pieces a precise, almost museum like presence.

In conversation with Marie Louise Elshout’s layered imagery and Peter Doherty’s typewriter works, the exhibition forms a three voiced interplay of intimacy and materiality.

The gallery is open Tuesday–Saturday 12-6 and on the first three Advent Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm, serving homemade mulled wine.

Q&A: James Johnston & Marie Louise Elshout – now p

Q&A: James Johnston & Marie Louise Elshout – now part of Dreams of the Seen and Unseen.
Today we’re sharing in-depth conversations with both artists, offering a closer look at how their visual languages emerged and how their works resonate within the exhibition’s dialogue.

James Johnston speaks about discovering painting on tour, the immediacy that drives both his music and his images, and the instinctive, mythic charge within his figures and animals.

Marie Louise Elshout reflects on her transition from photography and film to a hybrid painterly-drawing practice, the subconscious origins of her creatures, and why 19th-century daguerreotypes and folklore became fertile ground for her narratives.

Together, their works open an expansive field between myth, memory, nature and the human subconscious.

A new article on the exhibition has just appeared in the Berliner Morgenpost (German Newspaper) you’ll find it linked in our Smart Bio.

“Dreams of the Seen and Unseen” brings together two distinct artistic approaches:
Marie Louise Elshout’s hybrid figures, rooted in drawing and historical visual traditions, explore ritual, nature, and cultural imagination. @marielouiseelshoutart

James Johnston’s expressive figuration condenses gesture, colour and mythic undertones into contemporary reflections on the human condition.
