Popella's documentarily accurate works, with their physical and psychological realism, seek to unsettle the viewer: whether through the shockingly detailed depiction of wounds, the mockery of historical figures in the pictorial motif, or the shifting of contexts within the composition itself. In most cases, the content is already hinted at in the title of the work, conveying ambiguous references to imagery inherent in the picture. ...
The echoes range from the unsparing depictions of the early realists to the ideological painting used to legitimise heads of state. Popella questions the latter with pointed wit. The far-reaching background can be seen in Popella's condensed pictorial motifs. ...
The painting aims to shift the context of usual viewing habits, encouraging viewers to get to the bottom of what they see every day and sharpening their senses. Popella does not serve any political positions or make accusations; he takes a revealing perspective to make it easier for the viewer to create their own version of the image content from the wealth of possible interpretations and cited contexts.

Galerie FLOX 2.0
We would like to inform you that there has been a change of ownership at Galerie FLOX Dresden. With effect from September 30, 2024, Galerie FLOX / sole proprietor Karl Dominick has withdrawn from the gallery business in Dresden and will in future operate exclusively at the Art Factory FLOX Kirschau location.
I will take over the location Galerie FLOX Dresden under my own management (company name Kunstservice Hellfried Christoph) from October 01, 2024, but will continue to operate under the previous label Galerie FLOX!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Dominick family for the many years of idealistic and not inconsiderable financial commitment to art and the artists and, above all, for the trust they have placed in me over the past decade to develop the gallery into what it is today. Thank you also for the fair conditions of the takeover and the associated uncomplicated transition.
Now I have resolved not only to carry on as before, but also to develop the gallery slowly and with moderation. In my actions, I want to be guided by the principle of keeping what is tried and tested and pragmatically letting go of things that are inhibiting/unsuccessful in order to gain space for something new. With my decision, I will in future concentrate my activities exclusively on the FLOX Dresden gallery business.
Of course there will be changes. In terms of concept and organization, there will be innovations in the special exhibitions (in terms of exhibition rhythm, exhibition duration, opening hours as ONE WEEK SHOWs) and the previous portfolio exhibitions in between will be addressed in the future. The Kabinett will continue to offer the opportunity to experiment and exhibit in a concentrated and small format.
We will continue to actively participate in art fairs. Our participation in the AAF Hamburg 2024 in November has been secured! We would like to extend a warm invitation in advance!
Artistically, we will continue to sharpen our profile, add new positions in order to ultimately create lasting art experiences for you as our audience. FLOX would like to make its contribution to the art city of Dresden and beyond.
The first exhibition of the FLOX gallery under my direction will open on 18.10.24. As planned for a long time, Nando Kallweit and Kathrin Christoph will be exhibiting under the title. “anMUTIG”. Until then, the two current exhibitions “nebelme(h)r)” and “imitator” will be extended until 12.10.24. A separate newsletter on “anMUTIG” will follow shortly.
So it continues with vigor in my heart and visions in my head and I'm really looking forward to it! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please feel free to call me at any time. It's going to be an exciting time!
