The exhibition explores the various ways these artists, who primarily work with painting, perceive and articulate the contemporary world. It contemplates the picture plane as the place where contemporary artists’ perspectives are anchored, a current landing point, and a platform to gauge the direction of future artistic endeavors.

The 13 participating artists all primarily use painting as their medium. They translate their experiences and senses obtained from the world into the properties of the materials and embed them within the visual world of the picture plane.

Among these individuals who share temporal and regional similarities, each one has their own unique focus. Some concentrate on exploring the relationships between the world inside and outside their bodies, while others are deeply engrossed in experiments that overlap the realms of reality and the virtual world. Alongside those who observe the cracks in a resilient city, there are also those who remember what comes after the city’s collapse.
