Andrea Damp Solo Exhibition – Time Lapse
October 25 – November 22, 2025
Opening: Saturday, October 25, 2–4 PM
Andrea Damp is a well-established German artist experiencing strong momentum. She has created commissioned works for the Bundestag and exhibited in galleries and museums in Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. Her new solo exhibition at Galleri NB is titled Time Lapse—a concept that points to the movement of time and those moments when everything changes.
Time Lapse – A Moment in Motion
At first glance, one sees color, movement, and splashes of vibrancy. On closer inspection, structures emerge—and in some of the works, small human figures appear, hinting at more existential or philosophical themes.
In Time Lapse, Andrea Damp presents 38 new works that explore the relationship between time, perception, and transformation. It is a large-scale exhibition that invites the viewer to pause—to let the gaze move into the quiet, poetic space between past and present. Each work contains a rupture, a shift—as if the image simultaneously captures and releases its own form.
REISE ÜBER DEN HORIZONT, 2025, 30 x 40 cm
Damp paints in layers and contrasts: light and darkness, control and chance, presence and dream. The recognizable merges with the abstract, as if reality itself were in motion.
Her motifs unite the overwhelming forces of nature with human fragility and playful curiosity. A child often appears within the pictorial space—a narrative of innocence and fearlessness in a world that adults often experience as chaotic and threatening. In Damp’s universe, however, this world becomes a place of discovery and freedom.
The Artist
Andrea Damp (b. 1977, Rügen, Germany) was educated at the Universität der Künste in Berlin.
She currently lives and works in Berlin and has received several awards and grants, including the Karl Hofer Scholarship and the Lucas Cranach Grant.
Damp’s paintings bridge tradition and innovation. She describes her process as a search for the moment when the painting “breathes”—when history, craftsmanship, and intuition meet. As she puts it:
“When every square centimeter is filled with tradition and history, a work emerges that points forward and gains immediate relevance.”
