Cuturi Gallery is pleased to present Untaped, a new solo exhibition by German painter Jochen Mühlenbrink (b. 1980). Bringing together works developed during his 2025 residency with the gallery, the exhibition marks his return to Singapore following his earlier presentation with the gallery, AIR. In Untaped, Mühlenbrink deepens his ongoing inquiry into illusion, perception, and painterly deception, expanding on his tape series while drawing continued resonance from the atmospheric ambiguity of his Window Paintings.
Across the exhibition, strips of tape, torn, curling at the ends, become the real focus. Tape layered over fogged windows both conceals and transforms what lies beneath, inviting the viewer into a playful investigation. The works are highly technical yet poetic, conceptual, and rooted in the materiality of lived experience. Mühlenbrink’s practice focuses on that brief shift in perception: when what seems familiar reveals itself differently.
Untaped by Jochen Mühlenbrink will be on view at Cuturi Gallery, Singapore, 61 Aliwal Street, Singapore 199937 from 29 November 2025 to 3 January 2026.
