Feodora Hohenlohe | Review & Outlook
Feodora Hohenlohe's works—still lifes, flower paintings, interiors, and figure compositions—are imbued with a meditative calm. They seem to exist beyond the visible realm: permeated by memories, charged with the silence of things. The precision of her visual language is reminiscent of New Objectivity, yet she transcends its formal code. It is a style of painting that makes the invisible visible, allowing us to sense what is concealed – full of lightness, melancholy, and timeless beauty.
From July 17, 2026, a special art space will open in the Keitumer Cottage of the traditional Felix Jud book and art store: The Samuelis Baumgarte Gallery is presenting an exhibition by Feodora Hohenlohe in close cooperation.
Inspired by the quiet poetry of her paintings, a finely composed replica of her Ippenburg studio at Ippenburg Castle and her Berlin studio will be created—a place of contemplation, introspection, and quiet observation.
Surrounded by books, pictures, and the light of Sylt, Feodora Hohenlohe's artistic world can be experienced in a special way.
In the “virtual illusionistic studio” at booth B4, Feodora Hohenlohe successfully opened up her painterly world to visitors. Her still lifes, flower paintings, and figurative scenes embody the formal clarity and austerity of the 1920s—yet at the same time, she transforms them into a poetically imbued present. With glass-like transparency, mysterious light, and a meditative creative process, she elevates the everyday to timeless treasures. Thus, the attitude of New Objectivity lives on in her painting, expanded by a personal, contemporary sensibility.
The works open up in a conversation between artist Feodora Hohenlohe and journalist Dr. Eva Karcher. To the Interview
The highlight of the exhibition was the staged, walk-in studio—a tribute to Feodora Hohenlohe's working and living environment between Berlin and Schloss Ippenburg. This atmospherically dense space, created in cooperation with Theater Bielefeld, placed over 60 of the artist's works in a sensory context and allowed viewers to immerse themselves in her quiet, poetic world. Furniture, props, and lighting created an illusionistic setting that recreated the aura of the castle—a studio space that was both a retreat and a stage for art.
