Henni Alftan’s artistic practice is grounded in a profound exploration of the medium of painting, examining its methods and histories. Her intimately familiar yet intriguingly enigmatic portrayals of everyday life arise from a process of observation and deduction, resulting in precise and carefully cropped figurative works that embody a studied economy of means. By skillfully employing scale, perspective and texture, Alftan reveals the strangeness of the ordinary. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present a solo show during Berlin Art Week, featuring all-new paintings and the artist’s first-ever presentation of pastel drawings.
