"Translating RAW" Exhibition

This event has ended.
Anne Katrine Senstad’s color infused lightscapes, from her series “The Pink Project,” explore the harmonious relationship between color and light. By capturing light through the camera’s mechanical eye, Senstad’s color fields place the spectrum under the microscope. Her pixilated nuances lure the eye into exploring its tonal range—effectively creating a sensual aesthetic that immediately transforms notions of space and perspective. Coupled with her color fields, Senstad’s neon light drawings provide subliminal reminders as to how light narrates experience. By manipulating neon light tubes into an iconic language, Senstad draws attention to the reductive interplay between light and shadow, black and white. Similar to Senstad’s light infused text, Gonzalo Papantonakis’ painted canvases lso play with assumed notions of communication. Uniting word image and abstraction, Papantonakis’ paintings confront the many different layers behind thought process. Making a mosaic out of our codification system, his paintings deconstruct what we know into visceral sensation. The haunting rawness accompanying each canvas unearths uncanny familiarity. No longer in their expected context, the images fuse with the viewer, taking on a life of their own.
