30works Galerie

In the location's words:

The 30works gallery in Cologne stands for a clearly profiled program of contemporary art with a focus on painting. Founded in 2009 as a program gallery in the Belgian Quarter, it has established itself as an owner-managed gallery in the heart of the city and today presents relevant artistic positions between figuration and abstraction.

The spectrum ranges from naturalism and hyperrealism to abstract painting and is selectively expanded by influences from Op Art, Pop Art and Urban Art. This diversity is not an end in itself, but is consciously curated and supported by a clear quality standard.

The extraordinary portfolio of surreal pictorial worlds, in which contemporary pictorial ideas are combined with old-masterly techniques and thus create an independent, contemporary visual language, is particularly influential. A young generation of European artists is developing visual worlds that expand traditional categories and open up new visual narrative spaces.

Artistic virtuosity, originality and authenticity are at the heart of the program. For the gallery, good art is defined by quality craftsmanship, a clear artistic stance and the expressiveness of a work's content. 30works translates this claim into carefully curated exhibitions that are aesthetically convincing and at the same time accompanied by well-founded content.

The gallery team has decades of experience in the art market and combines in-depth knowledge of the market with a keen sense of artistic developments and sustainable positioning.

Vernissages and events also create an open space for dialog in which art meets social contexts. In addition to art-historical voices, personalities from the worlds of culture, business and the general public regularly have their say, which means that the gallery deliberately goes beyond the traditional art context.

30works sees itself as a meeting place where artists, collectors and an art-interested public come together. A lively space for everyone who wants to discover and experience art and integrate it into their lives in a sustainable way.

We look forward to seeing you!
