Letters to a young painter

Wentrup is pleased to present Sophie von Hellermann’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery, Letters to a young painter, as part of Gallery Weekend Berlin 2026. Sophie von Hellermann’s works combine her interest in history, mythology, literature, and film with the theme of memory. The artist “weaves” these diverse narrative threads together, translating them into her spontaneous painting style without sketches or preliminary drawings. In doing so, she links contemporary events with classical antiquity, blending imagination and reality both stylistically and thematically.
