Dear friends of the gallery,

In her fifth solo exhibition, YESTERDAY TODAY TOMORROW, at Galerie Vera Munro, Hamburg-based Canadian artist Linda McCue presents new works in dialogue with her 2023 series FAMILY WALLS. Once again, the focus is on themes that run through McCue’s work are memory and transience, as well as an exploration of the concept of home.

The title of the Family Walls series already hints at a connection between home and family—the works reflect the ambivalence inherent in this relationship. The painterly transfer of the wallpaper and fabric patterns that McCue used as templates for this series creates multi-layered surfaces in which personal memories overlap with the fleeting nature of memory itself. Irregularities, omissions, and blurring are not concealed—they are an integral part of the works.

“By transferring excerpts of these patterns onto canvas, Linda McCue recalls disappearing traditions without attempting to convey nostalgia. Rather, her images sensitize viewers to the phenomenon of change and to the awareness of customs that evolve over time.” (Meike Behm) McCue’s new works also explore the tension between memory and the present.

AGATHE DE BAILLIENCOURT

REACTANCE
11 September 2025 –
6. January 2026

Dear friends of the gallery,

In her first solo exhibition Reactance at Galerie Vera Munro, Paris-born artist Agathe de Bailliencourt is showing nine works from a series of paintings created between 2017 and 2019, in which she painted directly onto the fibres of three raw materials using acrylic paint: Linen, jute and cotton.

Exploring construction and destruction, these works were conceived to be exhibited in sequence, forming a dynamic interplay between material, form, and spatial tension.

Her large-format works – the exhibition brings together six large-scale paintings and three smaller ones – are located in the resonant space of autonomous abstract colour field painting.
