Rosa Loy, a German painter associated with the New Leipzig School, presents a new body of work at a solo exhibition that explores themes of togetherness, collaboration, and female solidarity through her signature figurative, dreamlike style. The show features large-scale paintings and works on paper that depict pairs or groups of women engaged in shared activities, rendered in muted earth tones with subtle surrealist undertones.
This exhibition matters because Loy, who is also a founding member of the artist-run space Galerie KUB in Leipzig, continues to develop a distinctive visual language that challenges traditional notions of individuality and authorship in painting. Her focus on durable, non-hierarchical forms of connection resonates with contemporary conversations about community and interdependence in the art world, while her long-standing partnership with artist Neo Rauch adds biographical depth to the theme.
