Monochrome Group Exhibition

MONOCHROME by Adi Oz-Ari, Maria Sanchez, Gana Nesterenko, & Vasil Berela | 07.01. - 31.01.2023

Galerie SLP opens the new year with a group exhibition titled Monochrome. Exploring collective consciousness  through the human psyche. Color is abstracted, utilized as a tool to direct the focus of the viewer into self-reflection.

From the 7th of January to the 31st, the gallery is showing works of four artists portraying their own interpretations of emerging social issues. Themes include the relationship between humans, machines and the existential efforts to survive and realize ourselves in a fast-evolving, technocratic society.

The exhibition examines what lies beyond human consciousness, bridging the gap into the future realms of artificial intelligence and spaces created within deep learning. Deconstructing the human anatomy allows the artists to submerge themselves deeper into layers of the psyche, exploring the field of neuroscience and linking it wıth the study of neural networks, as a result, reconstructing the consciousness in a surrealistic way, presenting the possibilities of a connection between the corporal and the artificial the neurochemical and the digital as a gateway to the ethereal.

Viewers of the exhibition are invited to examine the creation, ranging from digital prints to scanned biological matter, while the works also offer different perspectives of the human experience from international artists and their exposure and approach to artificial intelligence as a part of our collective consciousness.

From small-scale prints to big paintings, Monochrome will tell the story of the human mind and the evolution of our social constructs. Obscured in the monochrome palette the saturation is achieved through the surreal, depicting collective thought within the complexities of the human social structure. Internal dialogues of the indivıdual fill the social frameworks, resulting in a projectıon of the intimate onto a  global network.

Combining modernism with the usage of unconventional material, the viewers are invited to pause, stay still for a moment and feel the connection to the art, the artists and to the world through the images. Monochrome features works that encourage the viewer to start 2023 with a bit of inner-reflection.

Works from the exhibition will be available for purchase,  general admission is free.
