Armin Boehm (b. 1972, Aachen, Germany) is one of the leading figurative painters in contemporary German art. Based in Berlin, the artist explores the psychological, political, and cultural dynamics of today’s society through his large-scale paintings. Boehm’s works bring together the complexity of urban life, the collective unconscious, and the contradictions of the modern world within intensely layered compositions.

Boehm studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he worked under Konrad Klapheck and Jörg Immendorff, later becoming one of Immendorff’s Meisterschüler (master students). Since the late 1990s, he has developed a distinctive visual language that has established him as an important voice within contemporary German figurative painting. 

His paintings combine crowded groups of figures, architectural structures, fantastical elements, and social tensions to create narratives that move between reality and imagination. Addressing themes such as consumer culture, globalization, identity, power relations, and social transformation, Boehm invites viewers into a complex and often unsettling visual universe. His vivid use of color and intricate compositions generate allegorical scenes that reflect the chaotic nature of contemporary life.

Berkay Can Yılmaz is a contemporary artist whose painting practice is rooted in the fragile relationships between consciousness, memory, and perception. Moving fluidly between abstraction and figurative suggestion, his works explore the layered structures of both individual and collective subconsciousness through intuitive marks, fragmented imagery, and personal observations. Fields of color, gestural traces, and ambiguous forms emerge not merely as aesthetic elements, but as visual manifestations of thought, emotion, and processes of recollection.
