Gossamer
Colors annihilate.
Occupy: form and content.
Paint a head, a flower, a mountain, text.
Paint em all on equal terms.
Colours wrap around.

A Heart Beating in the World
“The title is borrowed from Clarice Lispector’s novel Agua Viva, a reminder of the atmosphere by which these paintings were made: the humming aggression, a silent rhythm, and the wonder of arriving at what I want to see.”

Relaxation is a State of Mind
Mark Salvatus’s solo exhibition at The Drawing Room asks about ways to relax. Salvatus’s proposition on relaxation is

Echoes
“Echoes” is a collection of artist books that was shaped into emolished structures. Interiors of
these structures consist of photographs that show
residual traces of what was once, probably, someone’s house.
Delirium
In presenting ten plank-like paintings for the exhibition,
the artist critiques the Western modernist trope of
minimalist paintings leaning on walls. Influenced by artists
such as John McCracken, Blinky Palermo, Raoul de Keyser,
Marthe Wery, and Jo Baer, the artworks challenge the
boundary between sculpture and painting.
Promised Land
In a literal, allegorical, and abstract sense, The Promised Land
is an embodiment of a long-sought desire, a destination
where one’s hopes are realized on arrival.
Such a vision is what Victoria Montinola brings to light.
Everything We Don’t Know
“Everything We Don’t Know” by
Gene Paul Martin confronts the problems posed by the history
of painting, creating a spectacular evisceration of what we do
know of our modernist past into painterly amalgamations of
ethno-futurism and animism, magical realism and mutant
abstraction, as well as a haunting-ontological aesthetic on the
idea of man.
