30works Galerie

In the location's words:

Good art is defined by artistic virtuosity, originality of the artwork and authenticity of the artist.

Launched in 2009 as a program gallery in the Belgian Quarter, 30works has established itself in the heart of the cathedral city.
The focus of the owner-managed gallery is on relevant contemporary positions and spans from naturalism and hyperrealism to abstract painting and urban art.
The portfolio of new surrealist imagery is exceptional, reflected here both in digital painting and in the citation of old master techniques, thus marking an outstanding genre update. Responsible for this is a young generation of European artists* whose intensive promotion is very close to our hearts.

For us, "good" art is defined by three components: Its outstanding quality, which is fed by artistic virtuosity. A successful self-presentation of the artists, where authenticity, originality and vision go hand in hand. As well as the explicit message that emerges from their works. We meet these demands with regular exhibitions, careful curations and openings, which are accompanied by press and art historical information. However, social contexts are also to be integrated, which is why we always include laudators from other areas in addition to prominent art experts. For example, we have already been able to win over Mayor Elfi Scho-Antwerpes, Head of the Department of Culture Susanne Laugwitz-Aulbach, Konrad Adenauer Jr, IHK Vice President Dr. Ulrich Soénius, cabaret artist Jürgen Becker, the President of the Cologne Carnival Festival Committee Christoph Kuckelkorn and the criminal biologist Dr. Mark Benecke as speakers. And once again show that 30works wants to be a meeting and dialogue space for people who are interested in broad socio-cultural concerns beyond the pure artwork.

We want to bring together the artists*, collectors* and friends of the gallery and let them participate in the exclusive 30works network - giving you the opportunity to discover, experience and celebrate great art with us. Here on site or at major international art fairs.

We look forward to your visit. And to many more grandiose exhibitions.
