Berlin-based contemporary artist Paul Kuntze (b. 1995) will debut his first solo exhibition in India, titled “Modern Freskos,” at Black Cube Gallery in Hauz Khas, New Delhi, from December 5 to 27, 2025. The show presents Kuntze’s reinterpretation of European Baroque frescoes—inspired by masters like Pietro da Cortona, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, and Andrea Pozzo—merged with 20th-century Abstract Expressionism and street-art techniques, using layered acrylic sprays to create atmospheric perspectives.
This exhibition matters because it marks a significant international expansion for a young German artist whose work bridges historical Baroque grandeur and contemporary abstraction, offering Indian audiences a rare convergence of European art heritage with modern visual language. It also highlights Black Cube Gallery’s role in introducing emerging international talent to the Indian contemporary art circuit, potentially fostering cross-cultural dialogue and new market connections.
