Alexandra Tretter
Jacky Strenz
We are pleased to announce first solo show by Berlin based artist Alexandra Tretter with the gallery.
Alexandra Tretter (b. 1988, Germany), studied Fine Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg (2016-2020) under Jutta Koether and at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, US. She also holds a degree in architecture which received from the Technical University of Berlin (2011-2015) Columbia University, New York, USA
Alexandra Tretter's paintings are painted from the body without depicting it directly.
Rather, her compositions explore the constant changes and shifting boundaries of body and mind, like kaleidoscopes of anatomical cross-sections or psychedelic Rorschach tests.
The symmetry gives them a sense of duality and opposition: each 'module' contains a specific energy of form, color and texture.
Her central and recurring motif is the oval, a potent shape that can resemble an egg, a mouth or an eye: organs characterized by the interplay of opening and closing.
Alexandra Tretter recently showed in a solo exhibition at the Kunstverein Heppenheim.

Jacky Strenz is pleased to announce upcoming solo show with Markus Ebner featuring his new series "Gesprengtes Quadrat/Exploded square". Ebners conceptual paintings illustrate a radical position of appropriation having a clear kinship with the Chinese idea of fuzhipin.

Elisaveta Braslavskaja
Jacky Strenz
Discover the first solo show by Elisaveta Braslavskaja with the gallery Jacky Strenz.
Born 1997 in Marburg, Germany Elisaveta Braslavskaja studied at Städelschule, Frankfurt where she graduated in summer 2023.
The title of the exhibition "Blick in den Hof", refers to a photograph by Braslavskaja's grandmother, taken with an analog camera. Through their correspondence Braslavskaja regularly receives images of her developed films.
The artist also frequently uses the motif of the thistle-like acanthus leaf. The acanthus is a recurring form in ancient architecture on capitals or facades.
Elisaveta Braslavskaja combines pictures from her personal archive, materials and techniques from seemingly different contexts. The ornamental and floral embroideries, inspired by Persian miniature painting, weave two-dimensional layers into sculptural objects. We will feature 5 large sized black and white screen prints on handmade paper embroidered by the artist.

LYNNE COHEN
Lynne Cohen
24.06.2023 – 19.08.2023
Works 1977–1981
Jacky Strenz
Trained as a sculpture and printmaker, Lynne Cohen started in the 1970s to focuse on the psychological and sociological artifice of the emerging North-American middle class. Using an 8 x 10-inch camera, she photographed living rooms, small stores, semi-public spaces such as men’s clubs, banquet halls, hotel lobbies, and offices. In the 1980s, Cohen went a step further and became interested in the mechanisms for controlling and manipulating society. She began to focus on more authoritarian institutions such as laboratories, police and military training centers, classrooms, and shooting ranges. In the 1990s Cohen introduced spas, and in 2000, without changing her subject, she began taking color photographs.
Lynne Cohen’s photographs are not just sociological or psychological, however. They are also characterized by a pointed humor. None of her subjects are staged or interfered with scenarios. What she depicted was what she found. Her equally thorough and systematic and precise. Regardless of the spaces the artist photographed, her concern was always the same: the world as finished installations, often referencing conceptual art, pop art, or minimalism.
