Lenz Geerk, Theatre of the mind

On April 15, 2026, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo inaugurates Theatre of the Mind, Lenz Geerk’s first solo exhibition in an Italian institution. In Geerk’s paintings, human figures, objects, and landscapes coexist within existential scenarios, where each element contributes to the representation of psychological or sensory experiences. Just as the bodies—quietly occupying the space of the canvas—are depicted in psychologically charged poses, so too still lifes and environments consistently share an introspective tendency. Through thick, textured colors with carefully controlled tonal variations, Geerk constructs suspended, dreamlike images imbued with a sense of ambiguity that remains unresolved.
