galerie son is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions by the acclaimed Egyptian-Norwegian artist Britt Boutros Ghali, to be presented in Berlin and in Seoul, Korea in 2025. The first exhibition will open on May 1, coinciding with Berlin Gallery Weekend, and will remain on view through June 28, 2025. The second iteration will travel to their affiliate gallery in Seoul, South Korea, with dates to be announced shortly.
\nAs part of the abstract expressionist movement in Europe, Boutros-Ghali has exhibited internationally with widely-collected works in both private and public institutions. The artist\u2019s practice synthesizes gestural abstraction, color, with a unique physicality of texture and material, tapping into her inner world and the cultural influences around her. Influenced by her early experiences during World War II, the radiant landscapes of Scandinavia where she spent the early part of her life, and the rich cultural texture of and love for Egypt, which she calls her home since the mid 1970s. Her large-scale canvases are at once commanding and poetic\u2014imbued with movement, intensity, and an unmistakable spiritual resonance.
\nHer latest works\u2014presented in a solo exhibition for the first time in Germany since the 1970s\u2014continue her lifelong exploration of color and gesture. Radiating energy and movement, her paintings capture the spirit of action painting while remaining deeply rooted in personal history and cultural symbolism.
\n\u201cWe are honored to bring Britt back to Germany,\u201d said Max Koffler, director of galerie son. \u201cDemand for her work has never been greater. Her paintings resonate with collectors across generations and continents, and we are thrilled to share her newest body of work with audiences in Berlin and Seoul.\u201d
\n\u201cI am extremely happy to be working with galerie son and for the return to Berlin and Germany after so many years,\u201d the artist states. \u201cGermany has always been kind to me. I\u2019m really excited about this latest body of work and looking forward to having it shown with Galerie Son and the Berlin public.\u201d
\nBritt\u2019s prolific career spans over six decades and includes both abstract and figurative works. Her paintings are charismatic and bold\u2014exuberant celebrations of life, spirit, and dreamlike visions. In 1996, she was named a Knight of the Royal Order of St. Olav for her contributions to Norwegian art, a distinction shared with Edvard Munch. In 2023, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Egyptian National Council for Women, honoring her lasting impact on the cultural landscape of Egypt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
