M Ketel

A working studio practice built around stubbornly ordinary objects — a toy, a tank, a tool — and the time it takes to really look at them.

01About
I'm Christoph, a painter working out of a studio in Alt-Hohenschönhausen.

My work circles around objects most people walk past — children's toys, industrial fittings, the contents of a drawer. I paint them slowly, at scale, with the conviction that anything looked at long enough becomes strange again.

Trained at the UdK Berlin. Shown recently in Berlin, Leipzig and Vienna. Currently working toward a 2027 solo exhibition.
