FASCINATING SOMETHINGS

The point isn’t to decide who wins—abstraction or figuration—but to enjoy the uneasy dance where one stumbles into the other, where a curve becomes an arm, and an arm becomes an echo. It’s a tug-of-war no one wants to win, because the rope itself is the most interesting part.

Some artworks offer a face, a chair, a tree. Others give you a blur, a smear, a shape that refuses to behave. This exhibition is about what happens when both kinds end up in the same room and have to share the snacks.
