Luminous Floating - solo exhibition - now open!

"This new body of work reflects a leap further into Bader’s study of light, its fleeting properties, and its relationship to nature and human perception. The exhibition title indicates the series’ central theme: how light “hovers” and “floats” through space and time, touching everything without prejudice while modifying how it is seen. The concept of floating implies a weightless, suspended condition, which reflects the delicate and elusive character of light in Bader’s work."

Opening: 25 October, 5-8 pm
The exhibition will run until 01 December

Bright Day Gathering

My debut print release, ‘Bright Day Gathering’, will be launching exclusively through RHODES Editions on October 24th at 4 PM (BST).

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Bader on this exciting new release, marking the artist’s first-ever print available to the public. ‘Bright Day Gathering’ is an exquisite, multi-layer woodblock print, produced at one of London’s most renowned specialist studios.

Bader’s signature style is perfectly encapsulated, blending woodgrain textures with high-gloss ink, creating a bold and intriguing juxtaposition within the piece.

This small edition of 20 offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bader’s much-loved work in a new and exciting medium."

Upcoming Group Exhibition - Uplands

Uplands at Rhodes, London

11.10.24 - 02.11.24
Opening: 09.10.24

Moving beyond mere representations of the natural world, the exhibition highlights how artists today use landscape to express intricate mental and emotional experiences, forging a deeper connection between art and the environment. By juxtaposing traditional and modern approaches, Uplands creates a platform for dialogue on how our relationship with landscapes, both artistic and real, has evolved over time.

Upcoming Group Exhibition - INVITED: ‘Ember’

INVITED: ‘Ember’ at the Spinnerei, Leipzig

14 - 15 September 2024

Featuring, Silke Weißbach, Fernando Casasempere, Mark Jackson, Rebecca Partridge and Raffael Bader.

Spinnerei Leipzig, Werkschauhalle (Halle 12), Spinnereistrasse 7, 04179

Imagine a field of glowing embers, each one contributing to a shared heat. This exhibition unites five artists from across the globe, all of whom explore the theme of transformation in their work. For some, this transformation is rooted in the very materials and methods they employ. For others, it is captured through representation — presenting an image or object that embodies reflections on change. Embracing natural processes of decay and evolution, whether in the environment or the human body, these artists also convey a humility in the face of the world’s systems, acknowledging their small yet significant agency within a much larger context.
