In abstracto #4 at Galerie Christian Berst Explores Abstraction Through Art Brut

Galerie Christian Berst art brut presents 'In abstracto #4', an exhibition running until July 25, 2026, that reexamines abstraction through the lens of art brut. Featuring around twenty artists, the show challenges the conventional association of abstraction with geometry, minimalism, or modern art movements. Instead, it highlights how abstraction can emerge organically outside formal artistic theories. The exhibition includes works by Julius Bockelt, Albert Moser, Bjarni H. Thorarinsson, Raphaël Lonné, Marcello Cammi, Franco Bellucci, Michel Nedjar, Ramon Losa, and Beverly Baker, each developing their own internal logic. Some compositions follow an almost invisible order, while others favor free-form evolution reminiscent of living organisms. The show emphasizes that abstraction is not merely the absence of representation but a way to construct autonomous universes with their own rules. By juxtaposing diverse practices, the gallery demonstrates that art brut defies conventional categories, with materials, gestures, and rhythms varying widely. The exhibition invites visitors to see abstraction as an experimental territory where each artist invents their own language.
