Ellen Gronemeyer: DÉJÀ VU at Anton Kern Gallery, New York — 11 Nov 2026–16 Jan 2027
Anton Kern Gallery presents DÉJÀ VU, the third New York solo exhibition of Berlin-based painter Ellen Gronemeyer (b. 1979, Fulda). The show brings together twelve new oil paintings and, for the first time, five small tables — painted abstractions combined with broken glass, sealed in epoxy resin and set on metal bases. Placing the imaginary space of painting next to functional objects, the exhibition explores how we look and how fantasy and reality blur. Gronemeyer works on many canvases at once, building up layers of oil so that image and surface pull against each other, and tempers a bold palette with black and white. Her tightly cropped, precarious figures include a woman adrift on a mattress in Single Bed and a woman pointing a TV remote at the viewer in Eurovision; Stormshutters playfully reworks Richter’s grids and Albers’ squares.
