RAPHAELA SIMON et al.
Es liebt Dich und Deine Körperlichkeit ein Verwirrter (group show)
Kunsthalle Düsseldorf
10 December 2022 – 19 February 2023
offline 
Raphaela Simon’s work will be presented alongside Carina Brandes and Florian Krewer in the trio-exhibition Es liebt Dich und Deine Körperlichkeit ein Verwirrter, at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. Questions of bodily self-determination and self-realisation dominate the respective oeuvres of the three artists, who were all born in the 1980s. Their work experiments with the body as an object of longing, freedom, and submission, and engages with corporeality with alternating closeness and distance.
Es liebt Dich und Deine Körperlichkeit ein Verwirrter opens on 9 December 2022 and will remain on view until 19 February 2023. The exhibition is curated by Gregor Jansen and Alicia Holthausen.

Die Nachahmung der Rose (solo show)
Oldenburger Kunstverein
16 February – 21 April 2024
Oldenburger Kunstverein will present a solo show with work by Raphaela Simon. Intended to ‘confront the viewer rather than transport them to another world,’ Simon’s large-format paintings are developed layer upon layer, creating views that give shape to the shadowy images of our imagination. The artist’s fabric sculptures complement her paintings, referring to fundamental questions of space, volume, observation and social interaction.
