Discover Konstantin Voit in Turkish: A guided tour of the award-winning exhibition
On Thursday, October 1, 2026, PORT25 – Space for Contemporary Art invites you to a guided tour in Turkish through the exhibition Konstantin Voit. Mannheim Art Prize of the Heinrich Vetter Foundation 2026. Meltem Yavuz will convey the central themes, image ideas, and art historical contexts of the painter's work to the visitors.
Colorful painting between abstraction and object
Konstantin Voit, born in 1964, works with a characteristic blend of abstract painting and figurative forms. Child painting stencils play a special role, which the artist has been collecting since 1993 and uses in his visual worlds as reduced signs, symbols, and archetypal motifs.
The exhibition showcases works from various work groups and provides insights into the multifaceted oeuvre of the so-called painting factory. Color-intensive compositions, recurring forms, and serial processes create a visual tension between order, play, and cultural memory.
Art historical classification and cultural education
Voit's fundamentally abstract approach opens up through the stencil motifs to the world of things. Simple cut-outs from everyday and visual culture become open carriers of meaning in the painting. The artwork observation makes visible how repetition, variation, color, and surface connect to form an independent visual language.
The guided tour in Turkish creates an accessible approach to contemporary art and combines aesthetic experience with cultural education. In direct exchange, questions about technique, choice of motifs, work processes, and the role of regional art promotion can be deepened.
The Mannheim Art Prize of the Heinrich Vetter Foundation
