THE SEEN, THE UNSEEN & THE UNCANNY

John Faulk, Markus Lehr, Klára Némethy, Grant Simon Rogers
4 artists – 4 positions – mixed media

Breaking away from conventional patterns, setting aside the old and familiar, and exploring paths beyond the mainstream—such virtues distinguish both successful artists and successful enterprises alike.

Kearney Berlin presents works by four Berlin-based artists:
John Faulk, Markus Lehr, Klára Némethy, and Grant Simon Rogers.
The exhibition aims to inspire new ways of seeing and thinking, revolving around the visible, the invisible, and the uncanny.

This artistic quartet covers a broad spectrum.
Nearly 50 artworks showcase a variety of techniques, ranging from paintings and installations to photography and images created with the aid of artificial intelligence.

At the heart of the group exhibition is the Blue Wall,
painted in an elegant Hague Blue, which unites the works of all four artists.
The golden wooden frames and the Petersburg hanging style evoke associations with a classical art salon.

Despite the individuality of each artist’s work, a common thematic thread emerges:
A deep connection to nature and an appreciation of flora and fauna go hand in hand with an interest in urban structures, contemporary architecture, and metropolitan life. In this sense, Berlin’s urban jungle proves to be the perfect terrain for their artistic explorations.
