Anna Kuen presented her solo exhibtion “Series Painter” at TOR140 on the occasion of Berlin Art Week 2025.
“Series Painter” brought together Anna’s multidisciplinary practice, examining the interplay of heritage, perception, and landscape through both canvas and porcelain. The exhibition traced her methodical approach: fragmentary words, tonal sketches, and layered mark-making created works that negotiated memory, identity, and spatial experience. Her porcelain series, developed during a residency at Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (@kpmberlin), engaged with Bauhaus tradition while extending her painterly vocabulary.

Next to her artistic practice, Anna also works as a full-time model and DJ, bringing her distinctive visual sensibility and sense of rhythm into both worlds. Her bookings span runway, editorial, and event performances for global luxury houses such as Dior, Cartier, Chanel, Prada, and Bvlgari, among many others—positioning her as a multifaceted creative voice at the intersection of fashion, art, and music.

Anna played her set together with Wolfram at the Kunstverein in Munich.
In dialogue with the historic Urbino series—designed in 1931 by Bauhaus artist Trude Petri—she translated her painterly visual language onto a medium defined by formal rigor and a long, storied tradition.
The resulting porcelain works mark a significant step into previously unexplored territory: an expansion of her ongoing exploration of surface and gesture, while simultaneously respecting the inherent logic of the material.
In the charged encounter between painterly intervention and ceramic tradition, Kuen’s overarching interest in form, surface, and serial variation becomes all the more concentrated.
