February 20 – April 3, 2026

Kutlesa Projects is delighted to present an exhibition by Berlin-based artist Matthias Esch.
Matthias Esch was born in Andernach in 1988. He completed a Master of Visual Arts (Honours) at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee Berlin in 2017 and obtained a Masters of Letters at the Glasgow School of Art in 2018.
His work is influenced by his experience with autism in his family and a mistrust of words and systems, leading to an interest in geometrical abstraction with romantic and subjective human undertones. His works reflect an interest in pop culture and noise music, providing a loud contrast to his calculated paintings. Esch has exhibited nationally and internationally, participated in interviews and publications, including the book "Soft Need 23" about William Burroughs and his friends, as well as his first monograph "Banality of Structure" (2023).
The end of 2023, he had his second institutional solo exhibition at the Kunstverein Brandenburg, Potsdam (Germany).
