With galleries in three bustling hotspots – New York City, Berlin, and London – Strychnin Gallery is a playground for artists from all around the globe. It is a place where collaboration is encouraged, new projects are constantly developed and creativity is the one and only thing that truly counts.

Owned by charismatic curator Yasha Young, Strychnin is dedicated to presenting emerging American artists to the European art world and vice versa. It features a variety of artists with particular individual styles rather than artists belonging to a collective “hip” movement. If you insist on putting a label on them, try lowbrow turned highbrow, pop surrealism or fantastic realism among others.

The gallery participates in major international art fairs on a regular basis, including Bridge Art Fair, Liste, or Art Fair 21 in Cologne, which appointed Yasha Young to its curatorial board in 2008.

CHILDHOOD HEROES – Helden der Kindheit: A benefit exhibtion for the children's hospice BERLINER HERZ.

In a singular effort, Berlin artist Sara Rosenbaum (Tatau Obscur, Berlin) and galerist
Yasha Young (Strychnin Gallery) have joined forces in order to present internationally
renowned artists from different fields in a benefit exhibition for the hospice BERLINER HERZ. Presenting over 40 artists from all over Europe and the USA, “Childhood Heroes – Helden der Kindheit” features art works with a great common
theme for a good cause: a percentage of proceeds from sales will be donated to support terminally ill children and young adults, as well as their care-takers, through the children's hospice BERLINER HERZ.

Not only will there be many renowned artists at the opening night of “Childhood Heroes – Helden der Kindheit“ but also celebrities from the Berlin cultural scene: among others, the well-known band The Boss Hoss has announced its support of the project.
