Over the course of four years, Hardhitta Gallery held exhibitions in temporary locations in Los Angeles, Berlin, and Cologne, before settling in a permanent gallery space in Cologne’s city center in September 2015. The gallery, whose tile floor was designed by artist Albert Oehlen, underpins the gallery concept with a unique interplay between photography and painting.

All five fine art photographers are well known for their documentary style and their poignant views of lively, gritty, eccentric, as well as melancholic moments in life. Rounding out the jubilee exhibition are intensely colored and abstract works by Oliver Blum, whose dynamic and experimental approach to painting reflect an individual style free from artistic norms.
