Nature • Humanity • Transformation
Pashmin Art Gallery is pleased to present The Constant Becoming, an international group exhibition bringing together four contemporary artists whose practices explore transformation as a continuous condition of human existence, perception, and material reality. Featuring works by Kiko Morales (Spain), Giuseppe Parisi (Germany), Carlos Alejandro Escobar (Switzerland), and Helmut Spanner (Germany), the exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between figuration, sculpture, expressive abstraction, and conceptual language.
Despite their distinct artistic approaches, all four artists engage with themes of change, identity, fragmentation, and renewal. The exhibition examines transformation not as a final state, but as an ongoing process that shapes emotional, psychological, and physical experience.
Spanish artist Kiko Morales presents highly detailed figurative works that combine realism with surreal symbolism and emotional narrative. His compositions intertwine portraiture, botanical elements, and symbolic imagery, creating poetic visual worlds that explore vulnerability, memory, and the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. Through meticulous draftsmanship and layered iconography, Morales transforms the human figure into a site of emotional and psychological resonance.
Giuseppe Parisi approaches transformation through sculptural materiality and industrial aesthetics. Working with metal, reclaimed materials, and assemblage techniques, he creates powerful sculptural forms that oscillate between abstraction and human presence. Texture, repetition, and physical structure become central expressive elements in works that investigate tension, fragmentation, and reconstruction through matter itself.
Carlos Alejandro Escobar explores transformation through expressive color, fragmented perception, and intuitive painterly gesture. His multilayered compositions merge abstraction and figuration, creating psychologically charged visual spaces that evoke memory, dream states, and shifting identities. Through chromatic intensity and fluid spatial structures, Escobar invites viewers into emotionally immersive and unstable perceptual environments.
Helmut Spanner contributes a series of text-based conceptual works in which writing becomes image, rhythm, and meditative structure. While his broader artistic practice encompasses multiple visual forms, this exhibition specifically focuses on his text-based works. Through dense handwritten layering and repetitive textual systems, Spanner transforms language into visual abstraction. Reading dissolves into pattern, while meaning emerges through repetition, accumulation, and the physical gesture of writing itself.
Together, the works presented in The Constant Becoming reveal how contemporary art can approach transformation through radically different visual languages while remaining connected through shared questions of perception, identity, and human experience. Nature, humanity, memory, and materiality appear not as fixed conditions, but as continuously evolving states shaped by tension, movement, and interaction.
The exhibition opens on 06 June 2026, 7 PM at Pashmin Art Gallery in Hamburg and runs until 26 June 2026. Curated by Nour Nouri, the exhibition will be accompanied by an opening speech by Dr. Davood Khazaie.
