The exhibition Mehr licht, conceived for Kornfeld Galerie Berlin, presents new oil paintings, watercolours and a light installation by Christopher Lehmpfuhl — an artist whose practice is grounded in the immediacy of experience and a deep engagement with place, history, and light.

Working en plein air, Lehmpfuhl captures Berlin’s ever-shifting atmospheres in thick, physical brushstrokes, transforming fleeting moments into luminous, tactile images. At the heart of the exhibition is Last supper, a large-scale glass work shown for the first time in Berlin.

Christopher Lehmpfuhl. Born 1972 in Berlin, Germany. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Christopher Lehmpfuhl carries the tradition of plein-air painting into our present day. As the impressionists did more than 100 years ago, he takes his colours and his canvases and goes where his subject is. In Christopher Lehmpfuhl's practice, painting becomes a performative act that includes sight as well as touch, hearing and smell. His paintings are the result of an intense dialogue with the world through all the impressions that find their way onto the canvas through the painter's eyes, arms, hands and his colours.
