get directions

Mountains is pleased to announce a solo presentation by Maximilian Rödel at Mountains RLP, the gallery's window exhibition space facing Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz.

Maximilian Rödel (*1984 in Braunschweig, lives in Berlin) refers in his art to the history of abstraction and creates chromatic, almost monochrome paintings on often large-format canvases. The spherical impression of these paintings and the exhibition title Prehistoric Sunset play with the viewer's imagination, evoking images and ideas of nature, sky, space and infinity.

At Mountains RLP Rödel presents a new installation including his painting yet untitled (Solaris), 2022, hung freely against a backdrop of large dunes, together with bamboo sticks, and a black and white collage referring to the topic of exoplanets.

The artist uses the window display as a place to stage and confront an object that is associated with atemporality and the sublime with a public space strongly inscribed with sociopolitical histories.

Maximilian Rödel's solo exhibitions include Carvalho Park, New York, NY (2022); Kunstverein Arnsberg, DE (2022); Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, Aachen, DE (2021); fiebach minninger, Cologne, DE (2019). His group shows and collaborative projects include documenta 15, Kassel, DE (2022); Zeller van Almsick, Wien, AT (2021); Mountains, Berlin, DE (2020); Studio Picknick, Berlin, DE (2018); Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin, DE (2015).

Parallel to the exhibition at Mountains RLP, Maximilian Rödel is presented at Berlin's new boutique art fair AMTSALON Gallery Pop-Up at the former Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Kantstr. 79, where Mountains shows a selection of works from various artists.
