We are pleased to announce the third solo show of painter Tim Eitel at the gallery, on view from October 10 to November 21, 2026. The opening will take place on Saturday, October 17, from 4 pm to 9 pm, in the presence of the artist.<\/p>\n
Tim Eitel (1971, Leonberg, Germany) uses painting to create analogies with reality, constructing fictional parallel worlds from situations he has seen and experienced. His paintings are based on encounters, photographed objects, or spaces that actually exist. Eitel\u2019s paintings do not tell stories, but rather present a moment without beginning or end, defined by a constellation of figures in space, the fading of light on architectural forms, and the relationships between colors. Tim Eitel\u2019s works are a profound exploration of the perception of space, light, and temporality, testing the possibilities of painting to represent these elements.<\/p>\n
He studied at the Leipzig Academy of Fine Arts (Hochschule f\u00fcr Grafik und Buchkunst) from 1997 to 2001 and was a Master\u2019s student (Meistersch\u00fcler) of Professor Arno Rink from 2001 to 2003. He has received several prestigious awards throughout his career, including the Landesgraduiertenstipendium, Saxony, Germany (2002) and the Marion Ermer Preis (2003). Co-founder of the Galerie LIGA collective in Berlin, he was one of the leading figures of the new Leipzig School before establishing himself as one of the most important painters of his generation.
