Britt Boutros-Ghali's first solo exhibition in Germany since the 1970s.
Opening for Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025 on May 1. Reception at 6 pm.
A world-renowned artist, Britt follows in the tradition of abstract expressionists and pioneers of color field painting such as Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell. She brings her large-scale, dynamic works to life with a unique energy.
Born in Norway in 1937, Britt's art is deeply influenced by the dramatic light of her homeland and her formative experiences during the Second World War. She has lived and worked in Egypt for over five decades, inspired by its rich culture and history. Her powerful works breathe the spirit of "action painting", where structure and spontaneity are in perfect balance.
In her studios in Cairo and Agami, Britt creates vibrant, expressive works of art, while her home is a meeting place for artists and collectors. Since 1962, her works have been exhibited worldwide and are held in prestigious collections. She has been awarded the Norwegian Order of St. Olav and the Egyptian Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in the Arts 2023 for her significant influence on contemporary painting.
The demand for her work continues unabated as she continues to push boundaries and inspire art lovers and collectors around the world.
