Meine Weltlandschaft
Tanya LeightonTanya Leighton, Berlin, is pleased to present Meine Weltlandschaft, a solo exhibition by the Swiss, Normandy-based artist Adrian Geller. Adrian Geller’s paintings unfold like intricate maps – part memory, part dreamscape – where landscapes are not just places but states of being. Drawing from the Northern European tradition of Weltlandschaft, Geller constructs vast, all-encompassing scenes that blend meticulous observation with painterly invention. Within these painted worlds, nature is at once lush and untamed, structured yet unknowable, a space where figures appear both lost and profoundly aware. His imagined worlds and fantastical narratives allow for humour and whimsy, breaking free from conventions. This openness extends to his portrayal of the human figure, which he both embraces and questions – sometimes as an alter ego, sometimes dissolving into the landscape, blurring the boundaries between human and nature. Adrian Geller (b. 1997, Basel) lives and works in Normandy. He studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. Recent solo exhibitions include 'Aparte' at Super Dakota, Brussels in 2024; 'Cloudburst' at François Ghebaly, Los Angeles in 2023; and 'Warping Lines' at Capsule, Shanghai in 2021. His work has been part of group exhibitions at Perrotin, Paris; Capsule, Venice; Galerie Richard Rogers, Château La Coste; 1969 Gallery, New York; Zeyrek Çinili Hamam, Istanbul; Villa Noailles, Marseille; Beaux-Arts de Paris; and AMG Bucharest. Geller's work is included in the permanent collections of Yuz Museum, Shanghai; X Museum, Beijing; and Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas.
