Looking Forward while Looking Back
With works by Philippe Halaburda, Linda Loh, and Tadasuke Jinno.
Virtual Exhibition
NARS Foundation is happy to present A Part of it All as a continuation of the Looking Forward while Looking Back series. This iteration is divided in two segments. In the second one we present the works of Philippe Halaburda, Tadasuke Jinno and Linda Loh.
Through the use of simple gestures related to actions, patterns, colors, structures, or even moments, this group of artists investigates the ways in which perception operates and responds. Just as time doesn't pass identically to everyone, looking at images/perception is not an identical experience. In this sense, the works in this two part exhibition explore cognitive stimulation and interactions with different fragments of the unconscious mind.
While exploring visual illusions and playing with perception to find the dividing point between what is real and what is not, these artists build a sensorial vocabulary –made of light, objects, patterns and colors– that serves as a path towards awareness, emphasizing that, over all, we´re not external observers but a part of it all.
About the artists:
Philippe Halaburda
Based on feelings or memories, my work process delves into the complex undercurrents of intimate and collective interactions.
The blurry boundary between perception and experience always inspired me: I am interested in the randomness of emotion through art by imaging abstract visuals based on the subconscious.
Exploring forms and lines in my map compositions, I form disaggregated grids and imaginary topographies exploring social tensions and relationships, instead of addresses and landmarks.
Tadasuke Jinno
My art works are like an entrance or exit across the border between reality and unreality. It is like a “Gate”. The works cause viewers to experience visual illusion or new perception with colors, shapes, materials, composition and environment.
I believe that experiencing visual illusion or new perception through my works will open your entrance or exit connecting the reality and unreality, by the feeling that you have never had before. It is expressed not only in terms of effect, but also in color, shape, arrangement and so on.
Linda Loh
Linda Loh is currently in Melbourne, Australia, but she has been based in New York City on and off for the past two years. As a multi-media artist, most of her work has its origins in sources of light. She distorts and transforms these, exploring the elusive form and materiality of digital space.
Due to COVID regulations, attendance is limited for the opening reception.
NARS Foundation Galleries are open to the public from 12pm - 5pm, Monday - Friday. Please contact info@narsfoundation.org with any other inquires.
