Kathi Boll

Kathi Boll is a Berlin-based painter whose practice unravels the subtle mechanics of perception and presence. Working in bold, gestural layers, she paints as if tracing what memory forgets—where echoes linger and form unravels. Her canvases resist narrative; instead, they act as thresholds where feeling precedes meaning, and the surface becomes a site of quiet rupture. Each work invites the viewer not to interpret, but to inhabit—what trembles beneath, what has no name, what insists on being felt. In Boll’s world, the self is not depicted—it’s unearthed.
