Thitz will be present in person With the exhibition “BAG STAGE,” BEGE Galerien Ulm will be showing new works by the artist
Thitz, born in Frankfurt am Main in 1962, from November 14 to December 20, 2025. The exhibition will present his unique works on canvas and paper in which the artist continues and presents his unique visual language, which has earned him international recognition. They emerge from a color-intensive network of urban impressions, narrative fragments, and utopian visions.
The idea of “Bag Art”
Since the 1980s, Thitz has been developing a distinctive artistic signature with his “Bag Art,” which combines painting, collage, and material art.
The starting point for his work is the bag, an everyday and globally used object that Thitz transforms into a carrier of stories, languages, and cultures. In his new works, the bag becomes the stage of the “BAG STAGE,” on which life unfolds in all its dynamism, shaped by people, movements, and the energies of urban spaces.
From a distance, Thitz’s images resemble cityscapes with panoramas of Berlin, London, New York, or Delhi. Upon closer inspection, they reveal a microcosm of writing, symbols, and figures. The result is compositions that oscillate between architecture and narrative, between structure, encounter, and vision.
Presence and resonance
In “BAG STAGE,” the everyday, the urban, and the imaginary collide. The result is an artistic world that appears both contemporary and utopian. In it, Thitz designs cities that connect rather than divide, spaces of exchange, openness, and hope.
At a time when questions of cohesion, change, and the future are becoming more pressing, his new works take on a special resonance. They reflect life between movement and standstill, between individual experience and global networking. Acrylic, ink, and collage fragments condense into textures in which the present, dreams, and ideals intertwine. On the stage of “Bag Art,” the present and the future meet in an ongoing dialogue.
