Touching Visual Worlds Between Pop, Portrait and Poetry
The Museum Kaiserswerth presents Patrizia Casagranda: Touch My Heart, an exhibition that condenses painting, collage, urban art, and typography into an impressive artistic experience. From August 1 to September 27, 2026, a visual language unfolds in Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth, connecting female portraits, art historical references, and a distinctive dot aesthetics into a work-viewing that is both sensual and reflective.
Images of Women with Dignity, Strength and Poise
Patrizia Casagranda works with motifs that seem familiar at first glance and transform into multifaceted visual spaces upon closer examination. Her preferred female portraits showcase not merely faces, but presence: dignity, self-assertion, and quiet intensity. This exhibition places exactly that aesthetic experience in the spotlight, where proximity and distance allow the work to be read anew.
Sculptural Dot Painting as Visual Signature
Characteristic of Casagranda's work is her technique of so-called Sculptural Dot Painting. Gridded dots, paste-like color structures, and layers of pigments and gypsum create a surface that oscillates between painting and relief. From a distance, the motif appears clear; up close, an almost sculptural image body reveals material depth and lively spatial effects.
Art Historical References, Reinterpreted
Particularly exciting is the dialogue with art history. Casagranda draws on iconic image motifs from Vermeer, Leonardo da Vinci, or van Gogh and translates them into a contemporary visual language. Thus, no mere citation is created, but a critical and at the same time poetic renegotiation of canonical images. Art lovers experience here how tradition, pop culture, and current image politics converge into a dense exhibition concept.
A Place for Concentrated Work Viewing
The Museum Kaiserswerth offers an intimate setting for this exhibition, allowing the works to resonate particularly immediately. The reduced museum atmosphere directs attention to surface, color harmony, and materiality. It is precisely here that the cultural education unfolds that transforms seeing into conscious reading of images.
Guided Tours and Exhibition Experience
Guided tours are planned for the exhibition, including a public tour on September 6, 2026, with Dr. Barbara Grotkamp-Schepers, as well as the finissage on September 27, 2026, with a tour by Patrizia Casagranda herself. For the visit, registration for the special dates is recommended. The exhibition invites you to rediscover portrait art as contemporary art and to intensely feel the effect of color, grid, and symbolism.
Conclusion: Those enthusiastic about contemporary painting, urban art, and art historical citation culture will find in Touch My Heart an exhibition date with strong visual language and great emotional density. A visit to Kaiserswerth promises not only art but a sustainable view on female portraits, materiality, and modern iconography. This exhibition is a must-see live.
