Lena Schmid-Tupou

The things we see are as important
as the things we imagine, dream of or feel.

Works

Silfra

Remembered outlines of passing fields, rays of flashing light – an artistic meditation on temporality.

Lumen

A series of glass sculptures inspired by the paintings of Silfra and the ceramic sculptures of Landmannalaugar.

Interfaces

The exploration of the different landscapes, arranged in various compositions on canvas.

Exhibitions

It is a fine mystery and I tremble everyday lest something should turn up

05.06. – 19.07.2025
Galerie Hyle
Hamburg, Germany

This group exhibition features artist Lena Schmid-Tupou next to her colleagues Maria Visser and Elena Greta Falcini. The three artists are meeting for the second time in an exhibition. What qualities are needed to make such a collaboration, a joint exhibition, a productive and appreciative success? The focus is on the reason for the appreciative collaboration. Openness is key to accommodating differences.

Fragments of time

15.05. – 18.06.2025
Artothek Hannover
Hannover, Germany

Fragments of time will show two Series that Lena Schmid-Tupou created in recent years. Her series Memory and Kraziai. Both series dig deep into the realm of memory and imagination. They are an abstract visualisation of time.

Komorebi

01.04. – 27.08.2023
Kunstraum Walshausen
Bad Salzdetfurth, Germany

Translated from Japanese, Komorebi means the light that shines through the trees, in other words dappled light. In her series with the same name, Lena Schmid–Tupou works on the view one can experience through the trees in the winter months. The view is crossed by a tangle of branches. Komorebi takes up the theme of light and line.
