In December 2025, MUMA Gallery will present a comprehensive retrospective of the Hamburg artist Konstantin Bax. Under the title „Houses of the Holy“ key works from more than 25 years of artistic creation will be brought together for the first time—from early drawings to his most recent compositions in acrylic.
Bax is considered one of the most exciting bridge builders in contemporary art: between mysticism and modernity, between technical perfection and emotional power. His works are visual meditations on what connects us—in a world that seems to be drifting further and further apart.
As the curator of the exhibition „Lebenslinien“, which was shown in May at MUMA Gallery, Bax explored the relationship between fathers and sons. His retrospective now focuses on the connection between humans and the entire cosmos.
Influenced by a unique family history—his father was a frequent guest of the surrealist Salvador Dalí in the 1970s—his path led him early on to the Viennese master painter Prof. Ernst Fuchs, for whom he worked as an assistant for some time.
Influenced by masters of fantastic art, Bax combines the technical virtuosity of his predecessors with an explosive, abstract visual language and a profound metaphysical aspiration in his works.
The core element of the retrospective is his current series of works entitled “Houses of the Holy”—a poetic allusion to the transcendental spaces the artist creates in his paintings and the rock music that inspires him.
Each of his works is more than just a painting—they are logbook entries from a spiritual expedition into the unknown, signposts on a quest for a deeper understanding of the universe—and one's own place within it.
"Houses of the Holy" not only shows the development of an extraordinary artist, but also opens a door to a world in which art, philosophy, and consciousness merge into an universal language.
We cordially invite you to celebrate the opening of this special exhibition with us on the 6th of December.
