Pequod Co. is pleased to present Pinturas para perros. Durchhalten galore!, a solo exhibition by Malte Zenses (Solingen, 1987), result of his residency in Mexico City during the fall of 2024. The exhibition explores the tensions between the urban landscape, personal memory, and the increasing disconnection resulting from identity politics that seek to frame contemporary culture. Through this new body of work, Zenses creates a dialogue between the everyday and the symbolic, revealing contrasts between lived experience and its abstract representation.

The exhibition is a two-part show in collaboration with Sperling, Munich. The artist will simultaneously have his first solo presentation at Pequod Co., following a residency in autumn 2024.

Malte Zenses lives and works in Berlin. His paintings and sculptures expand the vocabulary of abstract painting and new realism by pointedly integrating the zeitgeist of his generation through autobiographical fragments. Zenses is represented by Sperling in Munich. Notable exhibitions include ALTE EICHEN, NEUE BILDER at G2 Kunsthalle, Leipzig (2024); Im Kugelblitz at Kunstverein, Heppenheim (2023); Im Regio 3, totale Verwirrung at Sperling, Munich (2020); and IN TYRANNIS at Kunstverein, Nuremberg (2017).
