Welcome !

Aleph Art-Gallery is founded by Salomea Rathmann, a German entrepreneur,

in 2022 in Darmstadt, founded.

Salomea Rathmann is convinced: "Art, especially in times of upheaval like these, plays an indispensable role in modern society. It gives people confidence and courage, allows them to remember and gives them hope."

The gallery's passion is to serve as a bridge between different cultures and to focus on representational, international art. Aleph Art Gallery places great importance on the artists represented expressing their free creativity through great skill in artistic techniques. Their art, emphasized by creativity, is unique and encourages the viewer to stand out from everyday life and to develop the creativity that lies within every person.

New art collaboration with the Sofitel Frankfurt Opera Hotel

We are very excited about our new art collaboration with the Sofitel Frankfurt Opera Hotel. Over the coming year, we will present a carefully curated selection of works by artists from the Aleph Art Gallery in the hotel’s elegant spaces.

The French Art-de-Vivre concept of Sofitel provides an inspiring setting that perfectly showcases the artists' works. This unique backdrop creates a cultural experience that highlights the creative connection between the artworks and the hotel's aesthetics. Our goal is to offer art enthusiasts an impressive visual and cultural experience that enhances their enjoyment of art.

A successful participation in the Discovery Art Fair 2023

After last year's success, the Aleph Art Gallery was once again represented at the Discovery Art Fair in Frankfurt with the theme "The Dream of Flying" - and the enthusiasm was palpable. Our stand, centrally located, served as a meeting point for artists, art lovers and gallery owners at the beginning of November.

The fair proved to be a huge success for the gallery. Seeing familiar faces and exchanging ideas with visitors created a unique atmosphere. The personal connections made at the fair helped showcase art not just as a medium, but as a living community.

The positive response to our five artists strengthens our commitment to enriching the contemporary art scene. We look back with gratitude on a successful Discovery Art Fair and are optimistic about the future.

WORKS THAT MAKE US FORGET THE HARDNESS OF THE EARTH

It goes back to the oldest religions and mythologies in the world - the dream of flying. How to turn it into reality was something that people were pondering about long before Leonardo da Vinci. However, wonderful drawings by him of seemingly plausible yet impractical flying machines have been preserved. Parallel to the development of aviation in the 20th century, the theme of flying also enjoyed a new boom in modern art. The Aleph Art Gallery – founded in 2022 by the entrepreneur Salomea Rathmann, Darmstadt – follows on from this with five international, contemporary positions.

Against an informal, abstract background, historical Montgolfers and bulbous zeppelins float, and old-fashioned multi-deckers whiz through the picture. Everything is done with the same playful fine painting precision and garnished with surreal pieces such as flowers and cherries, enigmatic gears and Corinthian capitals. (Alexander Osipov)

Movement is the trump card in color and black and white photographs, whose models are the dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet. But what a movement! The camera technology dissolves the boundaries of human anatomy into vibration and light, conjuring up transitions into butterfly-like taking off or fluttering bird flight using simultaneous phases of movement. (Stuart Lawson)

The transformation of digital source material into painting creates new, astonishingly unreal spaces. So when landscapes, blurred as if in a frantic flight, come across a city or landscape map bathed in blue on the horizon instead of the sky. Or when a plucked, white cumulus cloud floats idyllically in front of the latter. (Elke Emmy Laubner)

The exception in the gallery program, which actually focuses on representational art: a painting that is purely committed to color, applied in a very physical, impasto manner with pustules and grooves, which conveys sensations to the eye, which in the end point to a meta-physical reality that is no longer physically tangible aim. This is not contradicted by the occasional reference to atmospheric landscapes populated by delicate plants. (Gerd Winter)

An old master's glaze painting makes the things depicted so believable that the viewer also finds the breaking of the laws of physics completely "normal". For example, when solid parasols become independent and sail out to sea. This time, of course, the ominous shadow of an airplane, placed in rapport with a laughing child crawling after it, is enough to open up the entire spectrum of possibilities between napalm and raisin bombers. (Karen Shahverdyan)

The selection made by gallery owner Salomea Rathmann proves that the white horse Pegasus, flying through the air on wings, symbolizes not only the weightless imagination of writers, but also of visual artists.

The pupil the Art

On February 12, 2023, two entrepreneurs Nina Gurk and Salomea Rathmann sponsored a special art event for Frankfurt art connoisseurs and lovers at the Stangenberg Merck Museum. During the champagne reception, guests were able to gain deep insights into the painting and creativity of Heidi Stangenberg Merck and Karen Shahverdyan during the art tour led by Dr. Roland Held.

The Stangenberg Merck Museum, which opened in Seeheim-Jugenheim in 2010 and is charmingly housed in an Art Nouveau villa above the Bergstrasse town, hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Throughout 2023, paintings by the German-Armenian painter Karen Shahverdyan will be on display there, using the meticulous technique of the old masters to create astonishing scenes where reality and unreality merge seamlessly into one another. Pictorial ideas that tempt you to look, marvel and interpret are explored over several stations. The panorama "Samsara", for example, creates a magical pull, as if you were looking directly into the pupil of an oversized eye.
