Release
A solo show by Matea Bakula
This Friday, 20 December, from 4–6 PM, join us at Lijnbaansgracht 314 for the finissage of “Flux” at Bradwolff & Partners, featuring works by Ruta Butkute, and the closing of “Release” with an installation by Matea Bakula at Lumen Travo. The two galleries, side by side, present exhibitions that engage in a compelling dialogue. Artistic director of Centraal Museum, Bart Rutten, will give an introductory talk exploring the connections between these two artists. This event marks the last exhibition of the year, with a festive Christmas gathering to follow.
Ruta Butkute (Bradwolff & Partners) blends sculpture with performance. In works like Fold #1 (2024), her fluid forms in ceramics and metal appear suspended in time, merging delicacy and strength. The result is a dynamic choreography of materials that invites physical engagement with the work.
Matea Bakula (Lumen Travo) transforms the gallery floor into an organic landscape with her installation “Release”. Hand-formed spheres made from recycled egg cartons evoke both the simplicity of harvested crops and the vastness of planetary systems. Her work examines the tension between the natural and the artificial, prompting reflections on cycles, connections, and transformation.
Join us in celebrating the year’s close – we look forward to welcoming you!

We are thrilled to open the new year with a group show focused on four artists of the gallery: Atousa Bandeh, Rachid Ben Ali, Dianne Hagen, & Milena Naef.
From January 17, the gallery will offer an eclectic selection of new works: from paper collages to glass sculptures, from paintings to small editions. These pieces touch on several topics related to self-identity, motherhood, and the philosophical quest embedded in our existence in the world. Save the date!
