We are pleased to present Elara Voss’s latest exhibition, Echoes Without Shape, a series of new paintings that extend the Berlin-born artist’s investigation into the relationship between memory, architecture, and abstraction.
Layers of Memory
Voss’s canvases are constructed through a process of layering: translucent washes of paint overlay textured surfaces, creating an atmosphere that is at once architectural and ephemeral. Faint outlines of arches, facades, and corridors surface, only to dissolve again into shifting fields of muted color. These works suggest memory not as a fixed record, but as a fluid and constantly evolving presence.
Between Structure and Dissolution
In Echoes Without Shape, Voss turns her attention to the instability of built environments. Architectural fragments emerge like ruins, hinting at spaces that have been abandoned, reconstructed, or imagined. The tension between solidity and disappearance gives each canvas a haunting resonance, as though the city itself were breathing.
A Quiet Intensity
What defines Voss’s practice is not monumental scale, but the quiet intensity of surfaces that compel close looking. Subtle shifts of texture and tone invite the viewer into a space of contemplation, where absence becomes as significant as presence.
Exhibition Details
Echoes Without Shape will be on view at [Gallery Name], Vienna, from November 5, 2025 – January 20, 2026. A publication with an essay by [Curator/Writer Name] will accompany the exhibition.
