Catalogue by Dennis Scholl: I Called Your Name from Beyond the Stars

The catalogue opens with a fragment of the biblical passage Balaam, the Donkey, and the Angel — not as a literal reference point, but as an atmospheric entryway into Scholl’s visual universe. The text sets the tone, but the true narrative is told through the images: layered, haunting, and otherworldly compositions that invite contemplation rather than conclusion.

Scholl uses language as a distant radio signal — fragmented, poetic, suggestive — while his artwork speaks with its own strange clarity. Ornate, uncanny, and spiritually charged, these images seem to arrive from a place outside of time, calling the viewer into dialogue with the unknown.

Beautifully designed with bold typography and elegant pacing, this catalogue is a work of art in itself — a portal for anyone drawn to the intersection of mysticism, mythology, and contemporary visual art.
