From the 5th to the 25th of September 2026, Pashmin Art Gallery Hamburg presents FORM: HUMAN AND GEOMETRIC, an international group exhibition featuring Andreas Schmidt, Olena Linse, Martin Ryng and Oliver Galiot. The exhibition brings together four distinct approaches to form, spanning transformed vinyl, figurative painting, digitally constructed imagery and meticulous dot painting.
Andreas Schmidt works primarily with discarded vinyl records, cutting, painting and combining them with collage elements. The records’ circular forms, grooves and cultural histories become part of works concerned with memory, migration, sustainability and transformation.
Swiss artist Olena Linse, who has Ukrainian roots, explores the female figure through expressive, layered paintings. Moving between abstraction and figuration, she presents the body as a place of memory, vulnerability, strength and self-determination rather than as a passive object of observation.
Martin Ryng combines drawing, digital art, 3D visualization and mixed-media processes. His digitally developed compositions, presented as fine-art prints—including works on acrylic glass—depict hybrid bodies and imagined worlds shaped by biblical narratives, science fiction, fear and longing.
Oliver Galiot builds intricate images from thousands of individually applied dots. His precisely organized patterns connect radiant colour with cross-cultural symbolism, the natural elements and geometric frequency structures inspired by sound and vibration.
Together, the four artists reveal geometry not as the opposite of human experience, but as a means of organizing and expressing it. Circular objects, painted bodies, digital anatomies and rhythmic patterns demonstrate how form can carry identity, emotion and cultural memory.
Curated by Nour Nouri, the exhibition opens on Saturday, 5 September 2026 at 19:00, with an art lecture by international curator Dr. Davood Khazaie.
