SETAREH is pleased to present 𝘋𝘪𝘴-𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 by Gregor Gleiwitz. The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by Dr. Gregor Jansen, who acted as the Artistic Director of the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf from 2010-2025.
In the text, titled 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘭𝘦𝘪𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘻, Jansen draws comparisons between John Milton’s “pandemonic” image world in his epic 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘴𝘵 and Gleiwitz’s expressive canvases. Coining the word, 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘶𝘮, Milton combined divinity with the pathos of modern angst. Always a commentary on contemporary fears, Jansen’s text contributes to the on-going transformation of the concept 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘶𝘮 for Gleiwitz’s exhibition, defining it as as “the abode of all demons and evil spirits, and, figuratively speaking, represents a place of horror, or wild turmoil. […] With a joy that is nothing short of sublime, Gregor Gleiwitz animates his pictorial worlds, shaped by the mythical-surreal creations of the Expressionist era. Like magical incantations, he arranges pictorial compositions into a tragic inferno of everyday and perpetual bitterness, which possesses an aggressive essence that is purely intrinsic to art.”
Dr. Gregor Jansen’s essay is available to read on our website.

One such series is , a long-term project where she collages and paints over documentary photographs of spectators at public executions in Iran. Hafez shows us a form of censorship, not for suppression but for activism. "Public executions were introduced in Iran following the Islamic Revolution of 1979 [...]. According to the UN Human Rights Commission, more than 900 people were executed in Iran in 2024. This makes it the country with the highest number of executions [...] worldwide. Using visual material from public executions sourced from national and international news agencies as well as social media—some of which circulates uncensored—[Hafez] creates paper collages and paints over the images. Her aim is to make the executions visible without explicitly reproducing the violence."- Giulia Cramm, Photography Researcher and CuratorPlease contact info@setareh.com for any inquires. , a series by Nazanin Hafez.

![- 02.05.26 - 13.06.26@raisan_hameed In -, Iraqi artist Raisan Hameed moves between the personal and the collective in his work and is consistently drawn to the places where images fail — where they are damaged, pixelated, missing, or incomplete. "Hameed explores places from his childhood in Iraq using the online mapping service Google Street View. Unlike usual, the 360-degree views here are not uploaded by Google employees, but by private individuals. Hameed is interested in images that depict empty spaces—such as blurred black areas, pixelation, or glitches—which can be interpreted as references to war and its consequences. This 'visual destruction' [...] highlights how technological regulation determines what is visible and what is not, how and by whom images are created, and how they circulate."- Giulia Cramm, Photography Researcher and CuratorPlease contact info@setareh.com for any inquires. and - , 1993-94, two series by Raisan Hameed.Installation Views by Joe Clark.---#raisanhameed](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6727516920383549431739_0_9163386a414d8df0eab28660c8979d94.jpg?o=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&h=9ccfbd00d31db04c0f9d5b97331ae673)

We see this Night when we look a human being in the eye, looking into a Night which turns terrifying. [For from his eyes] the night of the world hangs out towards us.” — G.W.F. HegelAt SETAREH London, Gregor Gleiwitz’s paintings unfold through darkness, gesture, and dissolution — figures surfacing from abstraction only to disappear again into paint. In his accompanying essay, Gregor Jansen places Gleiwitz’s practice in dialogue with Pathos Realism, Neo-Expressionism, and traditions of psychological and existential painting, where bodies, memories, and unconscious visions emerge in unstable and shifting forms.Read the full essay on our website.The exhibition is on view and runs until June 7th 2026.Please send any inquiries to info@setareh.com.—#gregorgleiwitz](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6739613349454613415762_0_572c24e78955c6cbaa235cf35e003fa1.jpg?o=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&h=e4b647e235c9e662ab22b198e2292207)
