In the organizer's words:

MALTE VAN DE WATER
gems on a wire
30.04.-29.06.2025

We are very pleased to announce Malte van de Water's second solo exhibition at Galerie Dietrich!

Malte van de Water, born 1990 in Düsseldorf, studied at the Kunstakademie in Münster and at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna. He has lived and worked as a freelance artist in Düsseldorf since 2019.

In the exhibition "gems on a wire", Malte will be showing a series of small-format works that were created very recently this year.

Malte's purely abstract paintings are far removed from figurative references. He is not interested in abstracting something familiar, but rather in a radical style that is minimalized in terms of form.

While his last exhibition in 2023 still focused on concrete form, in "gems on a wire" the focus shifts more and more to the painterly origin that is so important to him. The colors are applied to the canvas more freely, sometimes wildly and gesturally, but are always held in check by his typical forms, which are characterized by their provocatively digital character.
