Die Verzauberung / The Enchantment

It certainly promises to be an exciting  exhibition: Berlin painter BieneFeld and Japanese artist Asana Fujikawa  are coming together in a duo show.
Both know each other personally through Born Gallery and are well familiar with each other’s work.
BieneFeld draws many of her artistic intensions from nature surrounding  her. “Five Seasons” is the name of her current body of work, just as it  is challenging to reflect the course of a year in just four seasons, as  diverse is BieneFeld’s artistic expression.
Asana Fujikawa derives her artistic intuitions from mythology, Japanese  culture and tradition. Her ceramic works are rich in associations. There  are female figures in kimono, the back shows a colored tattoo, wicked  spirits are supposed to be chased away with it. Legendary figures meet  the viewer and again and again ghosts and spirits…
Sometimes, you might think, Haruki Murakami comes along.
