ALKINOIS presents: I Secretly Love Everyone By Leonie Specht and Ines Kaufmann

Sculptures and paintings drift like a constellation of uncertain steps,

mimicking characters in Leonie Specht and Ines Kaufmann’s I

Secretly Love Everyone at Alkinois softly mapping the gentle,

hidden rush and warmth of falling in love. Their squat ceramic and

delicate painting portrait creatures and dreamlike figures, glazed in

tender fleshy tones, emerge as shy little beings that draw you near,

melting quietly into warm reveries. Here, our shared bodies, needs,

fears, and desires weave together, deeply primal and sweet, oftenheld close in private to nurture our delicate almost forgotten

openness.
