Lexia Hachtmann's Axis at Paulina Caspari, Munich

In Munich, Paulina Caspari showcases "Axis," the inaugural solo exhibition of British-German artist Lexia Hachtmann. The title refers to the mathematical coordinate system x₁, x₂, and x₃, and the exhibition delves into themes of orientation, movement, and diverse perspectives through paintings that transcend traditional boundaries. Hachtmann’s artwork, which draws inspiration from Ernst Barlach’s "Der Schwebende," is constructed with layers of transparent color, drawing, and erasure, challenging conventional orientation and echoing memory over linear storytelling. Additionally, the exhibition alludes to Peter Handke's poem "Song of Childhood" from "Wings of Desire." Born in Berlin in 1993, Hachtmann has previously showcased her work at venues such as YveYang Gallery in New York and carlier | gebauer in Berlin and Madrid.
