In this second curatorial project in our new temporary exhibition space in Brussels, we are
thrilled to present an exciting duo show featuring two remarkable German artists,
FRANZISKA REINBOTHE based in Pretzsch near Leipzig, and TOM FRÜCHTL from
Berlin.
In CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, the works of the artists come together in a dynamic dialogue—
approaching, confronting, and intertwining with one another. This exhibition creates an
intimate space where two distinct artistic practices engage in conversation, inviting the
viewer to join this encounter.
Franziska Reinbothe’s work deconstructs and reassembles the canvas, unveiling its
hidden structures and transforming its materiality. Meanwhile, Tom Früchtl reimagines the
surface and physicality of painting, meticulously reconstructing forms to expose new visual
possibilities. Together, their works resonate, creating subtle correspondences, contrasts,
and unexpected connections.
