Since 2012, the Emerging Artists exhibitions at Affordable Art Fair have given a curated platform to new, unrepresented talents.
Looking back at the last 12 years, the visibility generated by the Emerging Artist exhibitions has been integral in supporting and pushing artist’s careers within the difficult starting conditions of the art world.
Emerging Artists Berlin 2025
The ‘Emerging Artists Berlin 2025’ exhibition will be curated by Fair Manager Hannah Weber-Heidenfels, showing the conceptual works of three artists which have their artistic focus in Berlin and Hamburg: Paula Hoffmann, Anne Meerpohl, Penny Monogiou.
The exhibition will create a space of tranquility within the busy atmosphere at the fair and will give visitors the opportunity to reflect and to relate to the artworks themselves.
The participating artists this year:
Paula creates spaces of experience with her work. They sharpen our perception of materiality as a storehouse of memories and sensations: construction sites, architectural surfaces, building materials, material stores, unnoticed, in stacks, waiting to be processed. She understands her work as a collection that explores what our surroundings are made of. Through an artistic, delicate, and open observation, the outside is dissected into its individual parts, and its subtleties and strengths are examined.
The focus of Anne’s work revolves around the body, fluidity, and care in the context of social structures.
In her installations, hybrids of painting and sculpture, she explores the materiality of paint, through aspects such as fluidity, bodily fluids, secretions, and painting as a mass that can function as an analogy to the politics of the body and social challenges.
Penny’s work oscillates between political concerns, personal suffering and the search for identity. With deformed faces, such as oversized heads and distorted lips, she challenges traditional ideas of beauty. This inevitably forces the viewer to consider the question of individual and societal expectations. Her work is characterised by a dual influence from her Greek heritage and her engagement with classical icon painting.
Take a look back at our former Emerging Artist exhibitions which have been on display at the Affordable Art Fair.
You’ll be able to see all of these artworks within our ‘Emerging Artists Berlin 2025’ exhibition at our upcoming fair this June. Be the first to hear about updates by signing up to our mailing list.
