An intense art experience about flight, memory, and arrival
The Great Town Hall Gallery in Landshut will show an exhibition starting on September 12, 2026, that makes art tangible as a testimony of a biographical state of emergency. Aflan Gasimov narrates through painting, drawing, and ceramics about flight, uncertainty, and the slow arrival in a new city. The exhibition is freely accessible and runs until October 11, 2026.

Biography as Image Space
Gasimov's work arises from an existential experience: the five-year flight history of his family from Azerbaijan, which he has artistically processed since the age of 15. His images condense queues, accommodations, bureaucratic processes, and life in hiding into a precise visual language between personal narrative and contemporary documentation. The fact that he is now studying painting at the Academy of Arts in Dresden marks the transition from the suffered history into a self-aware artistic future.

Painting between Fear and Observation
Particularly impressive is the connection of autobiographical content and painterly condensation. Gasimov captures not only experiences but also moods: confinement, uncertainty, expectation, and the gaze on a foreign environment. It is precisely this closeness of experience and work that makes the exhibition an intense examination of the artworks, where emotional authenticity and cultural education meet directly.

The Exhibition Space as a Resonance Room
The Great Town Hall Gallery in the historic town hall at Altstadt 315, 84028 Landshut offers a suitable public framework for this presentation. The city describes the space as a place for changing exhibitions; the official address and the municipal context underline the nature of an exhibition that does not remain confined to a closed museum space but radiates into the urban space. The opening and duration are clearly scheduled: Beginning on September 12, 2026, ending on October 11, 2026. ([landshut.de](https://landshut.de/adresse/rathaus-grosse-rathausgalerie))
Curating and Contextualization
The exhibition is curated by Anke Humpeneder-Graf M.A. This gives the project an expert framework, making Gasimov's works readable not only as an individual self-questioning but also as a contribution to contemporary art on migration, identity, and memory. The presentation of painting, drawing, and ceramics expands the view on an artistic profile that operates between materiality, semiosis, and narrative condensation.

What Visitors Can Expect
Those who visit this exhibition do not experience a distant illustration of flight but a direct art experience of high emotional density. Gasimov's works open a space for empathy, reflection, and aesthetic experience. The exhibition invites visitors to discover the power of young contemporary art in a historically charged place live. A visit is definitely worthwhile. ([landshut.de](https://landshut.de/veranstaltungen/ausstellung-aflan-gasimov-illegal-stationen-einer-ankunft-malerei-zeichnung-keramik))
