Galerie Adler is focusing on new and fresh international talents with a unique handwriting going along with strong and challenging themes.

The artists reflect the self-image, the desires and dreams of human beings in today's society. They explore topics like youth culture, social conflicts, life and death, faith and despair as well as angst, loneliness, violence and other kinds of human abysses. Their work can be described as morbid, provocative, bizarre but also as ironic, mystic and grotesque. They provide a link between drama and humour.

Our program covers all media: paintings, drawings, photographs and especially videos and performances.
