With great pleasure, Galerie Kuchling presents the latest works by Beate Tischer – a painterly exploration of architectural space, perception, and stillness. Her paintings captivate with a striking balance between structural clarity and emotional depth.

In Tischer’s images, architecture appears not as backdrop, but as living structure, as a movement of light, as an invitation to see. She creates spaces where memory and imagination intersect – spaces that don’t explain, but invite sensation. We warmly welcome you to linger within this unique visual world and to discover new perspectives on space, light, and form.

Beate Tischer lives and works in Berlin. Her artistic path began with a degree in printing technology at TU Chemnitz. This was followed by studies at the Dresden University of Fine Arts and the Hochschule Niederrhein in Krefeld, where she studied painting and free ceramics. Her education was enriched by postgraduate work in multimedia design and hands-on experience in ceramic and puppet design studios. This wide-ranging background informs her precise yet poetic approach to space, form, and surface.

Her paintings invent, question, and traverse space. Architecture is never merely a subject, but a point of departure for a multilayered inquiry into surface, depth, light, and shadow. Solid staircases, walls, passages, and angles appear in carefully balanced compositions. Yet what at first seems stable begins to dissolve upon closer viewing: lines tilt, planes hover, perspectives shift and soften.

These paintings open spaces that are neither fully inside nor outside. They are in-between spaces – quiet, detached, almost meditative. The images feel like moments of still movement, like frozen trajectories of light and gaze. Light doesn’t simply fall upon surfaces – it passes through them, reflects, bends, returns. Shadows are not empty but active participants in the image, creating volume and subverting orientation.

A distinct feeling arises while viewing: a deep stillness that is not empty – but charged, breathing, alert. It feels like entering a room that’s waiting for someone. Like standing at a threshold between memory and possibility. What Beate Tischer paints is not an image of architecture, but spaces made of perception, thought, and rhythm. Her works echo a moment – familiar yet elusive. They don’t tell stories, but resonate in tensions and reverberations.

These are works that are quiet and intense at once. They ask for no interpretation, only presence – an invitation to look, to linger, to think further. And perhaps to sense what lies just beyond the visible.
