Bridging urban reality and a visionary quest to save the world, Metropolis & Welt Retten brings David FeBland and Daniel Wagenblast into a compelling artistic dialogue.
David FeBland (b. 1949, London) turns his attention to the vibrant life of the world’s great cities. His works explore people, urban spaces, and the complex encounters that shape modern city life. With a keen eye for the everyday, he captures the energy and diversity of the urban experience, while also revealing its inherent contradictions.
Daniel Wagenblast approaches the present through a distinctive visual language, often infused with humor. His figures and sculptures offer a playful perspective on human behavior, social roles, and the big questions of our time. Balancing irony with reflection, his works invite a smile while also encouraging us to pause and look a little deeper.
Together, the two artists bridge the tangible realities of urban life and the broader question of how we shape and preserve our world. Observation meets imagination, a critical eye meets an optimistic impulse. The exhibition brings their distinct artistic voices together in a vivid panorama of contemporary life.
The exhibition invites visitors to see the world from new perspectives: with curiosity about urban life, an appreciation for the absurd, and the realization that meaningful change often begins with a fresh look at the little things.
