KÖNIG GALERIE is pleased to present ECHOTROPIA, Christian Achenbach’s third exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition unfolds around a monumental painting created especially for the Nave of St. Agnes. Structured by an extraordinary color palette of bright yellows, saturated oranges, burning reds, deep blues, and rich greens, Achenbach’s paintings open onto timeless landscapes. His wavy, colorful streaks imbue the pictorial plane much as wind and sound drift through the air. He paints places of echoes, where light and shapes reverberate and unfold like a musical score. His colors are not descriptive but autonomous, structuring the composition rhythmically in an almost overwhelming pictorial space.




KÖNIG GALERIE, founded in 2002, has evolved into a dynamic platform for contemporary art in Berlin and beyond. The gallery specializes in showcasing the work of both emerging and established international artists, with a particular emphasis on younger generations. Its program is characterized by interdisciplinary, concept-driven approaches, encompassing a wide array of artistic media, from sculpture and painting to video, installation, printmaking, photography, and performance.
