  • International Pop / Newcomer

    Chris de Sarandy

    Chris de Sarandy is a British singer and songwriter whose emotive pop sound and soulful voice are turning heads. Born in Surrey and educated in Leeds, he moved to Berlin in search of creative freedom and better conditions to pursue his music. Starting out busking on the streets, his breakthrough came in 2023 with the dance anthem “Cynical”, a collaboration with twocolors and Safri Duo. The track hit No. 1 on the German airplay charts and has since amassed over 130 million streams on Spotify.

    With a sharp ear for melody and brutally honest songwriting, de Sarandy proved that “Cynical” was no one-off. After signing with Berlin-based independent label Embassy of Music in 2022, he released several singles and his debut project Know Your Worth. His new single “Rain”, created with Swedish production duo MTHR (Zara Larsson, Loreen), marks the beginning of a new chapter and his upcoming EP. The track reflects on the end of a relationship—but also serves as a personal reckoning: “It started as a letter to an ex, but I quickly realized I was actually writing to myself,” he explains. Chris de Sarandy stands for authenticity, musical depth, and a voice that resonates far beyond the surface—a distinctive artist redefining modern pop with heart and soul.

    Thole Rotermund Kunsthandel

    Specialising in German Expressionist and Classical Modernist works on paper, Thole Rotermund Kunsthandel has been one of the leading contacts for collectors throughout Europe in this field for over 20 years. The focus is on important artists of the early 20th century: August Macke, Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Alexej von Jawlensky, Lyonel Feininger, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Emil Nolde and others. But the abstract tendencies of early post-war art, such as Ernst Wilhelm Nay and Eduard Bargheer, are also represented. Contemporary art is not normally the focus of the Hamburg paper experts, but when it comes to the passion for this special medium, extraordinary collaborations are possible. In the gallery on the EUROPA 2, Thole Rotermund Kunsthandel presents the Berlin artist and paper lover Peer Kriesel, who uses ‘designed’ print products that have become obsolete in their original form as painting surfaces for his exciting overpaintings.

    Peer Kriesel

    Peer Kriesel was born in Berlin in 1979. He came into contact with art at an early age through his father, also a visual artist. At the same time, he became increasingly fascinated by digital technology, so that after graduating from high school in 1999, he began studying computer science. However, he quickly swapped this for self-study in HTML, Java Script and Flash etc. and thus entered the creative industry, where he first worked as a graphic designer and later, after studying communication design, as an art director and designer specialising in digital media.

    With his theme ‘Identity and values in the age of digital change and digital society’, he is constantly developing his work in a visually intermedial and interdisciplinary way - from drawing/painting (analogue and digital) to sculpture and ‘media art’ (object, video/animation, JavaScript). His work is about the structuring and ordering of seemingly chaotic information, the acceleration and transformation of communication and the re-evaluation, originality and identity of people.

    Typical of Peer Kriesel's work are his ‘grimaces’ and FRTZNABSTRCTN, surrealist hidden object images and overpaintings as well as the Me So Small installations.
