It’s been a fair amount of time since you’ve been able to visit, but we’ve got some good news for you. We’re back!

The upcoming 10th edition of Affordable Art Fair Hamburg (10 – 13 November 2022) will once again boast a diverse selection of galleries, artists and artworks for you to discover. Looking to fill that empty space on your wall? Our fair provides the perfect opportunity to find the next artwork for you.

1. Christoph Rode, ‘Deckung’

Christoph Rode’s mostly large format works take on room or landscape situations. They remind the viewer of stage installations and multidimensional scenarios filled with fragmented content.
The works do not represent a processing of the artist’s thoughts or surroundings. Instead, the painter looks for inspiration in reproductions, newspapers, history books and films.

2. Peter Buechler, ‘Realität / Fiktion’

Peter Buechler’s artistic practice can be associated with object art. He uses found objects in his works and develops something new out of them in a different context. In doing so, the works start to narrate their own visual story. They give the viewer a moment of irritation in our own on efficiency and self-optimization oriented world.

3. Flavio Senoner, ‘Untitled 152’

Flavio Senoner creates his works with natural materials such as wood and plaster. The interweaving and overlapping of horizontal and vertical wooden strips create visual images of strong, emotional perceptions. Flavio Senoner sets his works on fire, allowing the flames to change the surface by adding patterns and altering the structure. His works invite interaction and intrigue.

4. Emilie Cognard, ‘Graphein vu:3c’

Emilie Cognard works with ink, water and paper, using these simple means to create highly complex drawings of marked depth. The works remain abstract until the end, do not represent anything, and merely follow an intuitive idea. With her works she questions the concept of emptiness; even more so, she questions our uniform outlook on the world, which seems always to strive to exploit every resource and play on every silence.

5. Nicola Watson, ‘The Endless Flow of Days’

With the focus on abstracting elements of the sky and the evolving tones of cloud formations, Nicola Watson attempts to capture a closely observed sense of place. Her drawings often start from a point of chaos. Graphite or pastel are ground into the paper and the artist’s instinct allows her to shape the initial image. A range of evocative atmospheres begin to form and a semblance of sense arises from the chaos.

6. Frea Buckler, ‘Facets’

Frea Buckler is a multidisciplinary artist applying her visual language of hard-edged abstraction to screenprint, sculpture and installation. Central to her practice is the interplay between the conscious and subconscious, balancing both reason and intuition to create lively one-off works made up of deeply saturated geometric forms.

7. Laurie Skantzos, ‘Portal – Pink Black Grey’

Laurie Skantzos’ works are inspired by the interaction of colour and shape. With her focus on process, she explores the use of various media and styles. She has a refined aesthetic vision, driven by a trust in liberation from standard formats and ultimately in the process to suggest a way forward.

8. Stefan Bircheneder, ‘Finger weg’

In his large-format oil paintings, Stefan Bircheneder deals photo-realistically with industrial ruins and abandoned workplaces. His panoramas and close-ups of disused factories preserve the emergence and development of our industrial culture. Traces of the workers can still be guessed at and thus become actors in the abandoned scenarios.

9. Guido Zimmermann, ‘Cuckoo Block’

‘Cuckoo Blocks’ are Guido Zimmermann’s answer to the traditional cuckoo clocks from the Black Forest. For a fresh spin, he connects them with a contemporary view on urban living and architecture. He often uses buildings with a striking history and architectural value from more deprived areas. A connection is made via the solid, compact construction made of concrete.

10. Ruben van der Scheer, ‘Speaking Volumes’

Post Modern Collection was created with the goal of giving everyone the opportunity to start their art collection with a unique artwork, even on a small budget. This stand will be filled with small-scale sculptures, drawings and paintings by emerging, as well as established artists – all created exclusively for the gallery. The small formats often challenge the artists to adjust their practice and the revenues of sales are directly reinvested into artistic development.

You’ll be able to see all of these artworks at our upcoming fair this November – be the first to hear about updates by signing up to our mailing list.
