Lo Brutto Stahl is delighted to announce representation of Berlin-based artist Philipp Simon (b. 1987 in Berlin), in collaboration with Schiefe Zähne. 

Simon’s work was recently included in the exhibitions Ruf/Simon, Air Service Basel 2024, and Modeling. Lo Brutto Stahl will host his first solo exhibition in France in 2026.

Philipp Simon’s work, centered around drawing, explores consciousness and the construction of identity as he probes the boundaries of inner and outer states, of Self and world. As Simon unveils the interfaces between rational understanding and sensation, societal constructs are called into question. Often, his drawings are embedded in sculptural structures that aim to disrupt the aura of the exhibition space. The collapse of life into the supposedly autonomous realm of art repeats itself in Simon’s use of exhibition space, as well as in his choice of materials, employing collage, frottage, and pre-used paper, that render the conditions of production visible.
