Soft Exit: works on paper is Katja Farin’s second solo exhibition at ERA Gallery, on view in Milan from 2 December 2021 to 20 January 2022.

The exhibition brings together three bodies of intimate work: plexiglass etchings, several of them reworked by hand with ink and gouache so that each print becomes a unique piece; drawings in graphite and ink; and a group of small oil paintings on wood and canvas.

Farin’s figures, often androgynous, inhabit interiors, courtyards and quiet rooms, caught in moments of waiting, closeness and unease: an embrace, a slow dinner party, a glance into a mirror. Most works measure just 19 x 28 cm, inviting a close, almost private way of looking.
