“frequency” Exhibition
Onishi Gallery
This event has ended.
Onishi Gallery announces “frequency” a group exhibition curated by Stefania Carrozzini, featured by eight artists from Japan, United States and Italy.
The artists developed the idea of frequency looking into their own personal experiences. Their artistic approach is based on the view that a special frequency and special energy move through all living things -a life energy that is the creative impetus for the universe, for all matter, and for their artistic inspiration. This energy moves in pulsating rhythms that take form through shapes, colours, time and space. It is a manifestation of phases of growth, the tidal rhythms of breath, the drumbeat of the heart, and the vibratory dance of the smallest particles inside each cell. Seen in terms of frequencies, the body of artworks of this exhibition consists of energy communicated with intensely introspective and even spiritual elements in dialogue with patterns of reality.
“To speak about frequency and energy in a creative context means to measure oneself relative to the mystery of the birth of ideas and inspiration. Frequencies are invisible vibrations which awaken our senses. Artists are privileged in that they work on antistatic energy, in free diffusion, revealing the need for truth particular to communication and expressive thinking. Some frequencies then translate aesthetically, giving light and body to these energies. They expand to transmit to others the energetic charge they temporarily hold. Thoughts have frequencies, they become things, matter. By means of art and the creative process, we can tune in and recognize our true nature as evolved sensibility. Art is the fertile ground for concretely expressing ultra-sensory perceptions. One could hypothesize a reading of the history of art by means of the physical and psychic forces which produced it; a reading not so much tied to symbolic meanings, to subject, to culture, to time, to language, rather to the vibrations which such works of art transmit to the spectator. To do this our senses should be more conditioned by sensitivity and less by rationality. Frequencies and energies concerning the work of art belong to the order of feeling. Tuning in to this dimension can change the aesthetics of life. It is a matter of seeing things for the first time, of cleaning the slate of previous learning. Many artists have dedicated their research to exploring energies circulating between microcosm and macrocosm. The fact that artists, in order to express themselves, use new visual codes is of little importance for aesthetic-energetic communication. Over time, artists have refined the web of knowledge and intuition by means of their own psychic power to receive and transmit force, thus bringing to the surface the extraordinary order of the universe: in this sense, art can cure, that is, raise the levels of awareness. In order to be able to benefit from its power, it is, however, necessary to clean our channels of perception.” (Stefania Carrozzini)
The exhibition is composed of 20 artworks: photographs and paintings. Catalogues are available at the gallery.
