Künstlergespräch mit Sahar Zukerman

In the organizer's words:

The Kunstraum Potsdam cordially invites you to a talk between the artist Sahar Zukerman and the curator of the exhibition Dr. Kristina Schrei on Saturday, July 19, at 5 pm.

Exhibition continues until August 3, 2025.

Kunstraum Potsdam / Waschhaus is showing "Omen", a large-scale solo exhibition by the artist Sahar Zukerman (*1985 London, UK, grew up in Tel Aviv, lives in Berlin) from June 29 to August 3, 2025. Zukerman paints painterly, masterful, richly filled pictorial worlds. Motifs glow and radiate: a powerful lion, a bright yellow ice cream, a magnificent crown. The shimmering surface, the generous, skillful painting style and the richness of figures and colors seduce and captivate. Zukerman's artistic virtuosity is also a concept. For there is fire, lightning and thunder, danger is imminent. Disaster is brewing in the midst of beautiful appearances. Zukerman tells political, pop-cultural and biblical stories that demonstrate the duality of our time. They are motivic set pieces from a millennia-old

Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultural history, which the artist knows from his personal life experience. In the Omen exhibition, Zukerman is showing a series of new works that continue this artistic exploration. Omen-like, they perceive the social trends of our time and show a

and show a foreboding, ambivalent but never hopeless view of the future.
