lost in color
Juan Arata | Rudolf Borkenhagen
12.12.-21.12.2025
Opening: Friday, 12 Dec 2025, 6-10 pm
“lost things” is what Rudolf Borkenhagen calls his small, colorful sculptures. The term refers both to things found and things lost. Objects, fragments and materials are removed from their original context and transformed into a new, independent visual language. The resulting sculptures oscillate between recognition and confusion
Juan Arata composes with ideas and images, assembling elements of language, symbolism and geometry into works that unfold like open questions. His pieces read as poetic structures — layered, ambiguous, suggestive — inviting viewers to navigate shifting meanings and to pause and look where thought turns visual.
Borkenhagen and Arata´s approach is grounded in material presence and the evolution of form as well as in conceptual mapping and the search for meaning. Their work meets in a shared space where stillness and inquiry coexist.
