Achraf Touloub, Pléiades
In this new body of work consisting of paintings and drawings, Touloub depicts a world in which everything is permeable and infused with currents of vital energy.
His transparent spaces are traversed by the viewer’s gaze:
figures merge with their surroundings, form with background, the near with the far.
Amid the anonymity of places and bodies, the major currents of our present—capital, information, and population groups—converge with more intimate themes that stir quietly behind them.
Like the star cluster that once guided sailors, these works are composed as constellations and trace the invisible lines that connect things.
They invite us to navigate through them rather than to interpret them:
surfaces on which the visible and the invisible are in constant interplay, and where sensation coexists with idea, abundance with emptiness, and myth with the present.
With “Pleiades,” Touloub breathes new life into painting as an instrument of orientation:
a threshold, a door, a vessel that gazes at us while simultaneously carrying us.
Opening hours during Berlin Art Week:
September 11–13, 2026
Friday through Sunday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m.
