Presentation
Contemplating the fading moon, gazing at the sky’s spectrum, following the chimeras formed by moving clouds or the curves of a plant stem…
A vision is, in its essence, an experience of “seeing” – whether the act of looking, or the way we understand something complex. Having a vision may as well be about mental representation as about conceiving the world around us.
In the arts, the notion of vision includes both what the artist sees and makes visible, and what we, as external viewers, transcribe sensitively about the specific work. When we look at an artwork, we see all the factors and experiences that led to its creation.
Having a vision may also imply finding access to other levels of consciousness, other perceptions, through a state of trance or the use of some substance. Facing certain visions, temporarily our being is transformed: We feel full of energy, or another kind of strength. Or maybe, we’re just so filled with wonder that we forget ourselves and experience a form of mental and physical osmosis. […]
In pictures
Marielle Paul
Marielle Paul draws her inspiration from the landscape, combining the scales of the tiny and the monumental, to form a dynamic world that is half-figurative, half-abstract, poetic and playful, with a bright and delicate palette.
Lyndi Sales
Lyndi Sales combines a deep interest in the natural sciences with a spiritual quest in her mapping of cosmogonies and new perceptions.
Bente Skjøttgaard
Bente Skjøttgaard spent several years in higher spheres, creating immense, vaporous and exuberant sculptures in delightful hues. Inspired by scientific models of certain cloud types (Cumulus and Cumulonimbus), these works suggest confrontations and tensions between warm and cold flows.
Yoon Ji-Eun
Through airy, musical compositions, Yoon Ji-Eun reflects on a reality that constantly eludes the desire to retain or understand: Fragments abound, still for an instant before continuing their journey… In some areas scenes are glimpsed through floating portals.
