A vibrant art experience at the Museum Kaiserswerth
With Patrizia Casagranda: Touch My Heart, the Museum Kaiserswerth opens an exhibition from August 1 to September 27, 2026, that condenses portrait art, urban art, and collage into a compelling aesthetic experience. The artist from Krefeld combines female imagery with typography, impasto painting, and a clear, contemporary handwriting.
Between portrait, pop, and art historical memory
Casagranda's preferred motif is women's portraits. In them, she shows dignity, beauty, and strength, without allowing the image to tip into mere illustration. Her works quote classical painting by Vermeer, van Gogh, or Leonardo da Vinci and translate these references into a contemporary visual language. This creates a work observation that remains both art-historical and immediately sensual.
The technique as a second layer of the image
Characteristic is her method, which she refers to as Sculptural Dot Painting. From a distance, the patterned motif coalesces into a clear figure; up close, the surfaces dissolve into relief, layering, pigments, and plaster. It is precisely this tension that makes her painting compelling: The eye oscillates between the overall image and material trace, between icon and surface.
An artist profile of international standing
Patrizia Casagranda is globally present with her works – including at the Venice Biennale 2024 and 2026 as well as at significant art venues and fairs. On her official website, she also refers to numerous exhibitions and awards. For the Museum Kaiserswerth, this exhibition gains a special authority: Here, a local exhibition venue meets a globally visible position in contemporary art.
The Museum Kaiserswerth as a fitting resonance space
The Museum Kaiserswerth typically shows a permanent exhibition on the history of Kaiserswerth and changing art exhibitions. The location in the historical town center, in the school building on Fliednerstraße, creates a concentrated atmosphere for contemporary imagery. The exhibition is open on Saturdays and Sundays, and admission is free.
Guided tours and education
Guided tours are planned for the exhibition, including an appointment with Dr. Barbara Grotkamp-Schepers and a finissage with a tour by the artist. This makes the exhibition readable not only as a visual event but also as a cultural educational experience. Those who appreciate portrait painting, urban art, and current exhibition curation will find a dense, accessible approach to contemporary art here.
Conclusion
Touch My Heart promises an intense art experience between vibrant color, material depth, and iconic visual language. This exhibition invites viewers to see images of women, painting, and artistic memory anew – right on site at the Museum Kaiserswerth. A visit is definitely worthwhile.
