Solweig de Barry
Artist | Berlin - Strasbourg

Artist to watch: @solweigdebarry investigates the ephemeral nature of memory and lived experience. Using photographs as a starting point, she translates fragments of everyday life onto canvas and paper through a process of painterly subtraction. Lines, shapes, and traces dissolve the original motif while preserving its emotional resonance. The resulting visual worlds are spaces where form, perception and memory are continually renegotiated. Solweig de Barry studied fine arts at the Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK). She lives and works in Berlin.

an exhibition in a book
SOLWEIG DE BARRY (*1987 Strasbourg/France, lives and works in Berlin) studied at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem/Israel. Her artistic work often begins with photographic snapshots of everyday life — scenes depicting family life, urban spaces or nature. The artist processes these photos — or rather individual fragments of them — into mostly large-format paintings and drawings.
In them, outlines and traces of the previously photographed people and objects are hinted at, but transformed into abstraction: Lines, areas of color and empty spaces are based on the composition of the photographic template, seemingly dissolving as it were. The images created within this transformative decomposition, reduction and rearrangement seem to capture the moments in their fleeting fragility. They reference the tipping point between “no longer“ and “not yet,“ holding countless possibilities.

noch ohne Titel, 2026, Öl auf Leinwand, 60 x 80 cm.
Bis Sonntag in der Ausstellung "En Passant" zu sehen.
Eine Gruppenausstellung im Ostbahnhof Berlin, Zwischen Volksbank und Reisebank.
Mit Arbeiten von @johannesmundinger @bruchers_eifer @defrancejeanbaptiste @stefanie_kaegi et moi.
Avec le soutien de @buergerfondscitoyen im @culterim_spaces.
Ein Bahnhof ist ein Ort, an dem wenige verweilen, es ist ein Ort den alle schnellstmöglich verlassen. Im Vorbeigehen schnell noch ein Snack gekauft und auf in die nächste Bahn, zur Arbeit, in den Urlaub, nach Hause. Begegnungen hier sind flüchtig, ein kurzes “Hallo” und “ich muss weiter”, keine Zeit, um groß Geschichten auszutauschen.
Im Vorbeigehen heißt auch die Ausstellung, en passant, in der Arbeiten von fünf Künstler:innen aus Zürich, Straßburg, Winterthur und Berlin für einen kurzen Moment zusammen kommen. Fünf Positionen, die abstrakt wirken, aber doch Geschichten beinhalten, die sich mit der Zeit entfalten.
16. und 17. Mai, jeweils von 14 - 18 Uhr.

Feb 27 – Mar 14, 2026
Introducing artist Solweig de Barry
Solweig de Barry investigates the ephemeral nature of memory and lived experience. She translates fragments of everyday life onto canvas and paper through a process of painterly subtraction. Lines, shapes, and traces dissolve the original motif while preserving its emotional resonance.
De Barry came to Berlin in 2008 to study at the UdK, where she completed her studies as a Meisterschülerin in 2014. In 2012, she completed a semester abroad at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. In 2020, Solweig de Barry was awarded the Goldrausch Scholarship. In 2023, she received the working grant from the Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn, followed in 2025 by the research grant from the Berlin Senate’s Department for Culture. Her works have been shown, among others, at Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Kunstverein Arnsberg, Städtische Galerie Offenburg, Kunstverein Heilbronn, and most recently at Künstlerverein Walkmühle Wiesbaden. She lives and works in Berlin.

Solweig de Barry / “BETWEEN THICK AND THIN”
Solweig de Barry’s practice explores the subtle tensions between density and fragility, presence and disappearance. Working across spatial installation and nuanced material arrangements, she investigates how shifts in form, rhythm, and layering influence perception. In “Between Thick and Thin”, the artist transforms the exhibition space into a field of delicate contrasts, inviting viewers to engage with quiet transitions, thresholds, and the sensorial weight of the in-between.

Solweig de Barry’s practice explores the subtle tensions between density and fragility, presence and disappearance. Working across spatial installation and nuanced material arrangements, she investigates how shifts in form, rhythm, and layering influence perception. In “Between Thick and Thin”, the artist transforms the exhibition space into a field of delicate contrasts, inviting viewers to engage with quiet transitions, thresholds, and the sensorial weight of the in-between.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
