Artists Maia Stark and Elke Richter explore the Latin concept of the "fear of empty space." The collection investigates the psychological and aesthetic impulse to fill every surface with narrative and detail. Stark’s contributions continue her inquiry into the grotesque and the uncanny, utilizing gouache on panel and oil on canvas to populate dense, immersive environments. The exhibition serves as a dialogue between two distinct visual languages, united by a shared fascination with maximalism and the intricacies of visual storytelling.
