Patrizia Casagranda at the Kaiserswerth Museum: Color, Portrait and Emotional Presence
The Kaiserswerth Museum will dedicate the exhibition Touch My Heart to the Krefeld artist Patrizia Casagranda starting August 1, 2026. The exhibition will feature collages, paintings, urban art, and typography in a show that impressively brings together portrait art, materiality, and contemporary visual language. The exhibition is designed as an art experience that focuses on the closeness, dignity, and strength of female figures.

Between Point, Surface, and Relief
Casagranda's unmistakable working method is called Sculptural Dot Painting: From a distance, whole figures and iconic portraits emerge, while up close, grids, thick layers, pigments, and plaster condense into an almost relief-like surface. It is precisely in this tension that the aesthetic experience of the exhibition lies. The works unfold spatial effects, rhythm, and tactile presence and vividly demonstrate how strongly contemporary painting can work with sculptural means.

Portraits in Dialogue with Art History
Especially formative are Casagranda's female portraits, which draw on classical artistic traditions and translate them into an urban, contemporary form. References to Vermeer, van Gogh, and Leonardo da Vinci open the gaze to art-historical quotes without pushing the present out of the picture. Thus, an exhibition emerges that does not let art history freeze in a museum but makes it readable as a living resonance space.

An Artist with International Exhibition Experience
The show in Kaiserswerth is part of a series of international presentations: The museum lists stations from Art Beijing to Art Basel Miami and World Art Dubai to the Venice Biennale in 2022, 2024, and 2026. Additionally, the artist refers to awards such as the Premio Internazionale Lorenzo il Magnifico. These biographical milestones underline the authority of a position that extends far beyond the regional horizon.
