Mondi Possibili highlights the interplay between art and design and explores the many ways in which experimentation with material, technique and scale can reveal the hidden narratives, quiet drama and humor in the everyday items that furnish our lives as well as our imaginations. Connected through a paradigm of the possible, all artworks on show examine familiar objects – citing, celebrating, adapting or appropriating them – offering surprising, playful or unsettling approaches that open up a range of “possible worlds.” This will be the fourth edition of Sprüth Magers’ Mondi Possibili – first titled by Pasquale Leccese – showcasing significant themes in the selected artists’ works as well as the gallery’s longstanding heritage. Its three previous iterations were presented in 1989, 2006 and 2007 in Cologne, where the gallery’s history is firmly rooted, and art and design have intersected for many decades.

The exhibition by Henni Alftan is the artist's first solo show at the London gallery, presenting new paintings that give a comprehensive insight into her artistic oeuvre. Her figurative subjects negotiate the relationship between medium and image, featuring a subtle palette and flat rendering style to transform their everyday subject matter from object to motif. Alftan’s compositions use the tight framing of close range photography to explore the similarities between painting and image-making while offering a fragmented vision of reality.

Henni Alftan's solo exhibition Night-time is part of this year’s Gallery Weekend “Discoveries”. The Sprüth Magers Window presentation features ten new works by the Paris-based artist. Alftan’s figurative paintings negotiate the relationship between medium and image, employing a subtle palette and flat rendering style to transform their everyday subject matter from object to motif. Her pared-down compositions connote a stillness that oscillates between monotony and anticipation.
