Gathering

15.12.2024 – 15.01.2025
Mauer Gallery | Harzer Strasse 112, 12435 Berlin

The Mauer Gallery is pleased to present "Gathering", the latest solo exhibition by Swiss artist Julia Gaudard.

Known for her playful and poetic approach, Julia invites us into a world bursting with color, joy, and imagination.

Through paintings on wood, sculptural compositions—carefully cut, painted, and assembled wooden forms—and marker drawings on paper, Julia brings to life an ensemble of whimsical characters.

Each artwork feels like a friend, radiating warmth, charm, and a sense of companionship.

Her works oscillate between a naïve aesthetic and a deeply poetic sensibility, creating a visual experience that is both lighthearted and profound. Her work breathes life into personalities—figures you wish to meet, laugh with, and share moments of simple joy.

"Gathering" is an invitation: to step into Julia Gaudard’s universe, to reconnect with the innocence of play, and to celebrate the beauty of human connection through art.

Thank you!

TRANSFORMative Space

At the heart of the creative process lies a subtle dynamic of metamorphosis, a dialogue between the artist and their work, where every gesture, every idea, is transformed into a tangible reality.

The artists exhibiting at Mauer Gallery extend this alchemy beyond the canvas. Their works do more than occupy space; they reinvent the walls, reshape the contours of the venue, claiming the very essence of the gallery during their exhibition.

In art, transformation is not confined to the work itself; it also unfolds in the eye of the beholder. Each creation presented at Mauer Gallery carries the potential for change, not only within the space it occupies, but in the way it is perceived.

Transformation, far from being an isolated process, becomes a subtle exchange between the artist and the viewer.

This often unconscious phenomenon reveals that every transformation is both personal and collective, leaving a lasting imprint, like an inner echo.

We hope these echoes reach you.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who supports the gallery and the artists behind it.

Your engagement helps bring this space to life, allowing art to continue to inspire and resonate with all who experience it.

CEL À VIE: A celebration of Anime Culture

April 12th - Mai 24th 2024

🇩🇪 Entdecken Sie die faszinierende Welt des Animes, während Sie in originale Kunstwerke und Designs aus der goldenen Ära der Animation in der Menschheitsgeschichte eintauchen.

Die Mauer Gallery präsentiert derzeit eine Sammlung mit mehr als 300 japanischen Kunstwerken.

Die Galerie ist mit handgemalten Originalproduktionszellen und Hintergründen aus über 70 ikonischen Serien bedeckt, darunter auch Dougas, Animationsblätter - für jeden Besucher ist etwas dabei, das verzaubert.

Bevor die digitale Technologie Einzug hielt, erforderte die Animation erheblichen Aufwand und manuelles Geschick. Viele dieser frühen Animationen, die über Jahre hinweg mühsam gefertigt wurden, existieren jetzt nur noch als Überreste, von denen die meisten entweder zerstört oder in einem Zustand des Verfalls sind.

Sie sind ein Zeugnis für die Geburt eines Phänomens, das sich seitdem zur lebendigen Manga-/Anime-Kultur entwickelt hat, die weltweit bekannt ist. Diese wegweisende Ära begann in den 1970er Jahren und erreichte in den 1980er Jahren mit der Schaffung einiger der beliebtesten Serien ihren Höhepunkt.

Ob Sie ein erfahrener Sammler sind oder einfach nur neugierig auf die Anime-Kultur sind, wir laden Sie ein, uns in der Mauer Gallery zu besuchen, um die Schönheit und Nostalgie der Ausstellung "Cel à Vie" zu erleben.

Alle Kunstwerke sind zum Verkauf und sowohl in der Galerie als auch online erhältlich: Hier ㋡

Tauchen Sie ein in die reiche Geschichte und Kreativität des Animes und entdecken Sie die Werke von Gō Nagai, Leiji Matsumoto, Akira Toriyama, Tetsuo Hara, Fujiko F. Fujio, Ozamu Tezuka, Yudetamago, Tsukasa Hojo und finden Sie vielleicht das perfekte Stück für Ihre Sammlung.

🇺🇸 Discover the captivating world of Anime as you delve into original artworks and designs from the golden era of Animation in mankind history.

The Mauer Gallery is currently presenting a collection boasting more than 300 Japanese art pieces.

The Gallery is covered with hand-painted original production cels and backgrounds from over 70 iconic series including dougas, animation sheets, there's something to enchant every visitor until May 24th!

Before the advent of digital technology, animation demanded significant effort and manual skill. Many of these early animations, painstakingly crafted over years, now exist only as remnants, with most either destroyed or in a state of disrepair. They stand as testament to the birth of a phenomenon that has since evolved into the vibrant Manga/Anime culture known globally. This pivotal era began in the 1970s and reached its zenith in the 1980s with the creation of some of the most beloved series.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply curious about Anime culture, we invite you to join us at Mauer Gallery to experience the beauty and nostalgia of the exhibition "CEL À VIE."

All the art is for sale and available at the Gallery and online: Here ㋡

RIOT 1394: Warriors

Oct 6th - Nov 17th 2023

Riot 1394 (b. 1988, Western Austria)
Warriors Exhibition at Mauer Gallery, Berlin

Riot 1394, a self-taught artist originating from Western Austria, has been an influential figure in Berlin's street art scene. With "Warriors", he offers a fresh perspective on the intricate domain of character design within the urban art landscape.

This exhibition presents an expansive range of characters, each meticulously crafted, showcasing the depth and breadth of his artistic prowess.

Diverging from the common Hip-Hop-infused graffiti, Riot 1394 finds resonance with the subversive currents of punk, the innovative beats of electronic music, the candid narratives of underground comics, and the offbeat allure of trash cinema.

At the Mauer Gallery, "Warriors" spans various mediums - spray can, airbrush, acrylic, and marker - reflecting Riot 1394's versatility and commitment to his craft.

This collection, while rooted in the street art tradition, also pushes its boundaries, challenging perceptions and encouraging viewers to engage more deeply with the characters he presents.

Experience Riot 1394's nuanced approach to street art character design at the Mauer Gallery in Berlin from October 6th to November 17th, 2023.
