His sculptures upend traditional categories and reflect the (post-)colonial relationship between Europe, Africa and the New World. The exhibition focuses on the monumentality of El Anatsui's work and encompasses every media in the artist’s prodigious fifty-year career. "We are proud and happy to be able show this truly splendid exhibition. El Anatsui's art leaves no one untouched, and we look forward to the engagement and the encounters that will take place at the Kunstmuseum Bern".

Sabrina Meissner grew up in North Africa and Southern Germany and is a Munich-based contemporary artist. Sabrina is fascinated by the tension between security, order, rebellion and freedom, chaos and structures. She has developed her own distinctive style which make her abstract portraits very recognizable and attractive for collectors. A strong use of contrasts and helmet-like hair in abstracted architectural and neo-surreal settings are the main distinctive features. In December 2019, one of her paintings was chosen and shown as part of a digital group exhibition at Art Basel Miami. In 2020, her work was awarded the “Review Me” art prize. Her works are hanging in private collections in Germany and the United States. Read more
