Preview: Lunita-July Dorn

KUNSTHAUS der ACHIM FREYER STIFTUNG, Kadettenweg 53, 12205, Berlin

September 10, 2026 – September 11, 2026

On the occasion of Berlin Art Week 2026, the Achim Freyer Kunsthaus presents a solo exhibition by the Berlin painter Lunita-July Dorn (*1999). In large-scale paintings and drawings, Dorn becomes the imaginary protagonist. Her own portrait forms the starting point of an intense self-questioning in which she tests individual and social role models. Personal memories and feelings interweave them with fantastic motifs and scenes to graceful, autofictional narratives. The images deliberately preserve the traces of the creation process: Pre- and overdrawings, stratifications, strike-outs and excavated passages remain visible and open. Dorn's pictorial and psychological search for identity is not a complete state, but a permanent transformation. The Kunsthaus invites the distinctive voice of contemporary Berlin art to dialogue with its collection of classical modernism, Art Brut and Outsider Art.
