My longtime friend and teacher, Walter Dahn, passed away on November 7, shortly after the opening of his exhibition “HAVE LOVE WILL TRAVEL“ at Haus Mödrath, Kerpen. Starting January 12, an eight-part exhibition series runs alongside his exhibition, featuring artists who studied with Walter Dahn.

Haus Mödrath is excited to announce Ralph Schuster’s debut solo exhibition in this series. For the occasion, the artist presents a new collection of paintings, shown here for the first time. The imagery and color choices in this series hold a unique place within the broader scope of his work. Using a pared-down palette, motifs from his expansive drawing universe have been translated onto small wooden panels. In this exceptional series, dark and twisted imagery of the yonder is presented with a wink and a touch of humor.

Born in 1982, Ralph Schuster studied Fine Arts under Walter Dahn at the University of Art in Braunschweig. He currently lives and works in Brussels.
