Thomias Radin’s fourth solo exhibition at Esther Schipper in Berlin, titled "Echoes of Ka," presents a multidisciplinary environment blending painting, woodwork, and installation. The Guadeloupe-born artist draws heavily from Caribbean embodied knowledge, dance philosophy, and the ancient Egyptian concept of 'Ka'—a vital life force—to transform the gallery into a choreographed 'secret garden.' The works, characterized by vibrant colors and gestural oil paintings on raw linen, are informed by Radin’s collaboration with dance scholar Léna Blou and his own practice of improvisation.
