Patrizia Casagranda at the Museum Kaiserswerth: Experience Touching Portraits and Urban Art

Patrizia Casagranda at the Museum Kaiserswerth: An Art Experience Between Portrait, Urban Art, and Poetry

The Museum Kaiserswerth presents the exhibition Touch My Heart by Patrizia Casagranda from August 1 to September 27, 2026. The Krefeld-based artist combines collages, painting, urban art, and typography to create a visual language that appears distant and reveals its full materiality up close. Admission is free, open Saturdays from 2 to 5 PM and Sundays and public holidays from 11 AM to 5 PM.

Women Portraits with Dignity, Strength, and Presence

Casagranda's preferred subjects are women's portraits. In them, she explores beauty, self-assertion, and visibility. Her images draw on the tradition of portrait painting while bringing in the gesture of the present: precise, urban, self-confident. Quotes from classical painting, such as those by Vermeer, van Gogh, or Leonardo da Vinci, are transformed in her handwriting and moved into a new, contemporary interpretation of the work.

Sculptural Dot Painting as an Aesthetic Experience

Characteristic of Casagranda's work is her so-called Sculptural Dot Painting. The main motif consists of dotted patterns, while the backgrounds are designed with flat colors and accented with pastose brush strokes. In close view, layers of pigments and plaster emerge, built on recycled painting surfaces, almost like reliefs. From a distance, these structures consolidate into clearly readable portraits. It is precisely this allure of the exhibition that transforms viewing itself into an artistic experience.

A Museum with Historical Context

The Museum Kaiserswerth is located in the historical old town of Kaiserswerth within the east wing of the Kaiserswerth primary school. It is dedicated to the history of Kaiserswerth in its permanent exhibition and regularly showcases temporary exhibitions related to the northern part of Düsseldorf. This creates an exciting framework for presenting Patrizia Casagranda's work between local memory culture and contemporary art.

Visit, Guided Tour, and Exhibition Atmosphere

Guided tours for the exhibition are announced: on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 12 PM with Dr. Barbara Grotkamp-Schepers and for the closing event on Sunday, September 27, 2026, from 2 to 5 PM with a tour at 3 PM led by Patrizia Casagranda. Registration is required for all dates. Those who appreciate art education will not only experience a viewing of the work but also a curated discussion about material, imagery, and cultural education.

Why a Visit is Worthwhile

Touch My Heart promises an exhibition full of color, layers, and emotional presence. Patrizia Casagranda combines urban visual language with art historical references, creating works that shine in space and remain in memory. Anyone wanting to experience contemporary painting, collage, and expressive portrait art should definitely visit this exhibition in Kaiserswerth live.
