Exhibition by Svetlana Petrasch 5 November – 4 December 2025Vernissage | 5 November 2025 | 8 p.m.Full Moon GalleryAdmission is free! Faces fascinated Svetlana Petrasch even as a child. She would spend hours looking at portraits in magazines and drawing them on paper. Over time, she developed a passion for capturing not only facial features, but also emotions. ‘The eyes are the mirror of the soul,’ she says – so what are the windows? Perhaps the soul of the house. So a few years ago, she began painting windows as well. During her evening walks through familiar or new alleys, she looks inside, imagines the people who live there, and transforms her impressions into pictures. For her, windows are like reflections of people – each one tells its own story, its own little life. The artist was born in Penza, Russia, studied classical painting and art education (1994–1999) and worked for many years as a freelance painter in Russia – mainly in the field of portrait and mural painting. A special project took her to the Moscow area, where she spent several years working on the mural design of a monastery church in the style of classical icons. Since 2019, Svetlana Petrasch has been living in Dresden, where she works as a commissioned painter and art teacher. Her works – from portraits and landscapes to large-scale murals – are characterised by a positive, colourful view of the world. From 5 November to 4 December 2025, the FULL MOON GALLERY, the art space of the Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e. V. at Hechtstraße 17, will be showing a selection from Svetlana Petrasch’s series of works FENSTER & PORTRÄTS (WINDOWS & PORTRAITS). Vernissage: 5 November 2025, 8 p.m. The artist will be present, and drinks will be served as usual from the house bar. Admission is free!  

Exhibition by Dorothee Kuhbandner 07 October – 04 November 2025 Vernissage | 07 October 2025 | 20:00 Full Moon Gallery Admission free! Dorothee Kuhbandner was born Dorothee Friedrich in 1964, grew up in a sheltered environment and went her own way. Since childhood, she has expressed herself through images and processed experiences, feelings and thoughts in colour and form. The content of her work is not always apparent at first glance. ‘What are you trying to say with the picture? What does it represent?’ she is often asked. It is difficult to give a simple answer, because words are not her medium – she paints. ‘Dorothee Kuhbandner’s style often seems magically expressive and cannot be pigeonholed. The bright colours and untamed strokes in which the figures take shape are remarkable. She jokingly refers to her style as “Dorealism”.’ — Heinz Weißflog († 2013) ‘It is the detours that lead a person to their goal the fastest; stages are and remain existential.’ — Thomas Gerlach, Radebeul Dorothee Kuhbandner has had and continues to have many stages in her life: bookbinder, nurse, mother of four sons, gallery owner, manager… bon vivant. She did not study art and never allowed herself to be steered down a predetermined path. She paints as she pleases and has found her own style – and is happy with it. www.doro-malerei.de

Exhibition by Katja Tomzig 7 September – 6 October 2025Vernissage | 7 September 2025 | 8 p.m.Full Moon GalleryFree admission Dresden-based painter Katja Tomzig knew even as a child that there is much more to the world than meets the eye. ‘When Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out 20 years ago, I naturally read it cover to cover over the weekend,’ she recalls. ‘And when I walked past a sheet of paper in my room, completely exhausted, covered in paint stains, I discovered that all kinds of creatures were romping around on it. I quickly grabbed my coloured pencils and prevented them from disappearing, because I didn’t know how long this window would remain open.’ Her concern was unfounded, because since then this portal has remained open and she can hardly look at a crumbling wall, marble slab or even stains of any kind without their inhabitants appearing. And no, no drug use is necessary. Since 2019, Katja Tomzig has been painting mainly in this style – preferably with egg tempera, watercolour pencils and paint, coffee or tea on Finnboard and various types of paper. The painter calls her ever-growing collection of fantastical images with great narrative potential FACETTEN DER SCHÖPFUNG (FACETS OF CREATION), which – charged with love – are primarily intended to bring joy to the world. The latest works from this series will be on display from 7 September to 6 October 2025 at the FULL MOON GALLERY – the art space of the Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e.V. at Hechtstraße 17 – seven days a week, 24 hours a day in the large shop windows. www.katja-tomzig.de | www.full-moon-gallery.de Katja Tomzig studied in Dresden and Cologne, where she lived for 11 years before returning home in 2021. The freelance artist has exhibited works from her FACETTEN DER SCHÖPFUNG (FACETS OF CREATION) series in various group and solo exhibitions, at art fairs and in documentaries in Europe and the USA. Young designer Haz Sam had her motifs printed on fabric and embroidered to create a breathtaking gown that caused a sensation at Berlin Fashion Week 2023. In another project, she is devising new plants that help solve social problems.  

Exhibition by Constanze Hohaus 9 August – 6 September 2025Opening | 9 August 2025 | 8 p.m.Full Moon GalleryFree admission The Full Moon Gallery cordially invites you to the opening of ‘Zeitenrinde’ on 9 August 2025 at 8 p.m. at Hechtstraße 17 in Dresden. In this solo exhibition, Dresden-based artist Constanze Hohaus presents her latest graphic works, which reveal the hidden aspects of nature in an impressive and sensitive manner. ‘Zeitenrinde describes and shows the life archive of trees – a condensed natural biography between trunk and space, between what was and what remains.’ In her new works, Hohaus takes up the forms of tree slices to provide insight into the interior of these living witnesses of time. Rings, cracks and gradients become symbols of growth, change and renewal – of cycles, continuity, breaks and new beginnings. Some of the artist’s well-known ‘grass pictures’ will also be part of this presentation. Dieter Hoefer will say a few words about the exhibition at the opening on 9 August 2025 at 8 p.m. www.constanze-hohaus.de

10 July – 8 August 2025Vernissage | 10 July 2025 | 8 p.m.Full Moon GalleryFree admission! The Full Moon Gallery cordially invites you to the opening of ‘INNER LIGHT & VIBRATIONS’ on 10 July 2025 at 8 p.m. at Hechtstraße 17 in Dresden.In this solo exhibition, Tatjana Zaitseva presents her current paintings — vibrant compositions in which colour becomes an expression of emotion, inner life and transformation. ‘INNER LIGHT is the story of the light that lives in each of us.’ Here, colour becomes a tool for profound experiences and opens up a space for viewers to immerse themselves in their own worlds of feelings and energy. ‘VIBRATIONS is the energy of colour, the pulse of life.’ – Each of these paintings is filled with its own emotion — joy, passion, power and liberation — and invites you to experience it with all your senses. The paintings appeal to the eye, the heart and the body, becoming a medium for encounter and transformation. This exhibition is a space of inspiration where colours act as living energies — as connections to your own innermost being as well as to the surrounding world. Tatjana Zaitseva, born in 1974 in Izhevsk (Russia), grew up in a creative family and discovered her love for art as a child. After studying environmental design, she founded her own design studio, worked as a visual merchandiser and created numerous shop window and interior designs.In 2014, she moved to Saint Petersburg to further explore the psychological effects of colours. Her painting became an expression of new artistic experiences and a means of making emotion and truth visible.In autumn 2024, Tatjana Zaitseva came to Germany to get to know the European art scene and further develop her creative concepts. She regularly participates in international exhibitions and art projects and has developed her own distinctive style — lively, expressive and full of emotion.

Exhibition by Andreas Hinkel 11 Juni – 9 July 2025Vernissage | 11 June 2025 | 20:00Full Moon GalleryFree admission! WITH AMBIVALENCE AT A LATE HOUR, we’ve succeeded in bringing the fascinating surrealist Andreas Hinkel from his current home in Thuringia to Dresden for a month.His works are characterized by their high-quality execution and the subtle concealment of their messages about becoming and passing—along with all the in-between stages. They are rich with cross-references to current topics, classical masterpieces, and his very own motivations. He mainly paints in oil on canvas; his palette is earthy yet splendid, expressing his deep connection to Mother Nature as his greatest teacher and allowing him to convey emotional truths with striking clarity.Born in 1959 and raised in Saxony, Andreas Hinkel studied under Prof. Gottfried Bammes in Dresden and worked as a theatrical painter in Radebeul before founding his first gallery in Jülich in 1994. Since 2011, he has run the Kunsthaus No7 in Starkenberg / OT Naundorf in Thuringia, located in an old farmhouse, where he regularly hosts exhibitions and passionately devotes himself to painting.

The exhibition WITNESSES OF A LIFE provides a deep insight into the multifaceted work of Udo Steinborn – an artist whose work is characterised by relentless work on himself, personal crises and an intensive engagement with art, architecture and spirituality. From early surreal and cubist experiments to the deconstruction of compositional principles, his work reflects the search for a unifying form – a unity of painting, sculpture and architecture. In recent years, his artistic process has increasingly opened up to energetic dimensions, inspired by spiritual perception. We warmly invite you to the vernissage on 13 April 202 pünktlich to the full moon, in the Full Moon Gallery. Join us for a special evening where art, light and energy resonate with each other.  

Exhibition by Joachim Rauch 11 May – 10 June 2025Opening | 12 May 2025 | 20:00Full Moon GalleryFree admission! The Full Moon Gallery presents the latest works by Joachim Rauch in the exhibition Serial Worlds. The exhibition is dedicated to serial art – an artistic approach characterised by the repetition and variation of a motif. In his works, Rauch explores how perception changes when a pictorial motif appears in different nuances, colours and structures. While the actual motif fades into the background, the diversity of forms of representation creates a new, multi-layered visual language that invites the audience to experience art from a different perspective.The exhibition will be opened on 11 May at 8:00 p.m. with a festive vernissage. Joachim Rauch will be hosting the evening with a performance and a lecture on the topic ‘Psychological Dimensions of Art’. Using sculptures created especially for this occasion, he takes the audience on an exciting journey through art history and shows how repetition and variation influence our perception. In doing so, he provides fascinating insights into his artistic research and establishes connections between historical and contemporary art movements. The exhibition can be seen at the Full Moon Gallery from 11 May to 10 June 2025. Admission is free. Visitors will have the opportunity to delve deep into the world of serial art and discover how variation and repetition give rise to completely new forms of expression.

Exhibition by Lora Malysheva 12 February – 13 March 2025Vernissage | 12 February 2025 | 20:00Full Moon GalleryAdmission free! The Full Moon Gallery invites you to explore the dazzling world of Lora Malysheva, a pioneering artist who helped the ancient art of enamelling to flourish once more. This posthumous exhibition pays tribute to Malysheva’s mastery of the cloisonné technique and presents an amazing collection of her works – paintings, pastels and, above all, her luminous enamel creations. Malysheva was born in Odessa (Ukraine) in 1946 and grew up surrounded by art and resilience. The daughter of celebrated painter Hennadii Malyshev and Holocaust survivor Katij Rosental, she grew up in the circle of Odessa’s most prominent artists. After studying in Odessa and at the St. Petersburg Academy of Baron Shtiglits, Malysheva returned to her hometown, where the light of the Black Sea and the beauty of her own garden became the basis of her artistic vision. Her technique, which is based on the cloisonné process, requires extraordinary patience and precision. Each piece begins with a copper base that is covered with layers of delicate enamel glaze. Repeated firing in the kiln gives the works a unique vibrancy. The intense heat melts the enamel, creating colours so rich and saturated that they seem to glow from within. In this painstaking process, Malysheva created complex compositions featuring women – often herself – amidst gardens with flowers, fruits and symbolic animals. These dream-like images radiate a sense of harmony, combining the Renaissance-inspired elegance of her figures with the organic beauty of nature. Her works are both deeply personal and universal, inviting the viewer to find moments of peace and connection in her art. Malysheva’s passion for enamel painting was sparked during her visits to Dresden in the 1980s, where she studied the techniques of Chinese and Dresden enamelling masters. Inspired by what she saw at the Grünes Gewölbe, she brought these techniques back to Odessa, where she founded a vibrant community of enamellers and shared her knowledge in workshops. Her legacy continues to shine in works exhibited in prestigious collections around the world, including the Getty Museum in the United States. This exhibition at the Full Moon Gallery not only celebrates Malysheva’s technical brilliance, but also invites us to reflect on the interplay of light, colour and emotion that characterises her art in a special way. Enter a world where light and imagination merge, and experience the unparalleled artistry of Lora Malysheva – a tribute to beauty, resilience and the timeless art of enamelling.
