For the second time TGB Art Projects presents an exhibition of the Greek artist duo Denis and Marjano Kapurani in Munich. This time the exhibition takes place in one of the city's most important creative spaces, Hall50 of the DomagkAteliers.

The upcoming exhibition will present for the first time selected works by the Kapurani brothers from 2021, 2022 and 2023, created during the last turbulent period marked by pandemic and war.

On the one hand, the title of the exhibition "The Album" (from the Latin "Albus" "white" or also "a book with empty pages") suggests a possible, hopeful new beginning after the cathartic crisis. On the other hand, the title refers to a common practice in music, the compilation of several musical titles on the basis of a particular collection of the artistic examination of a certain period and of external and internal circumstances.

Typical for the musical and rather unusual for the visual examination of different contents, motifs and protagonists is a stylistic diversity, to which the artists respond and express accordingly during the creation of an album. The Kapurani brothers have chosen this principle of multilingualism of forms and styles for this exhibition also in the visual "translation". Not as an experiment, but as an individual homage to each pictorial object, which should also ideally remain individual and unique in perception and interpretation. With this intention, for example, the portrait of "Elizabeth from Vyshgorod", a Ukrainian friend of the Kapurani brothers, was created in a realistic manner in classical chiaroscuro to do justice to her expression and history in the current context, while the black ego mirror, which at the same time refers to the origin of abstract painting and the ingenious rewriting of iconography by Malevich, is entirely dedicated to the concept and materiality.

The artists have developed musical compositions to accompany the selected works in the exhibition, which are intended to underscore both the conceptual structure of the exhibition and the respective pictorial mood and will be heard in the exhibition.

Marjano (b. 1984) and Denis (b. 1990) Kapurani are visual artists, mostly known as Kapurani brothers. They live and work as an artist duo in Greece, Larisa. Marjano and Denis Kapurani explore the roots and traditional forms of art as well as its future potential manifestations through painting, sculpture, installations, video art and a variety of creative forms. They view their creative process as something sacred and contemplative that has less to do with the individual's "self-expression" and ego, but serves as a vehicle to represent "something" possible outside of themselves. Through the solo exhibitions such as "a comet to bury lovers" in the former Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki or in the show "illuminated skeletons and peacocks" curated by Stavros Kavalaris in the Annarumma Gallery in Naples, they received much attention. Important milestones in their artistic path were, among others, the participations in the Parallel Dokumenta 14 in Athens and the exhibition "Villa Salvatore" curated by Marina Athanasiadou and presented by Maria Papadimitriou at Gallery Zina Athanasiadou in Thessaloniki.
