In an era of cultural fluidity, where boundaries between cultures, gestures and creative expressions blur, the paths we cross explore the convergence of diverse artistic visions by inviting us to dive into a tapestry of the most (un)common connections and encounters.
Navigating an intricate web of stories and cultures, this exhibition attempts to create an immersive experience where past and present intermingle. Each work reflects a unique story, allowing for a broader understanding of the intricate web of human existence. These perspectives seek not to present dogmatic solutions but to shed light on different stories by bringing together their traditions, techniques, and narratives. Looking closely, we can find these moments where these narratives intersect, creating a harmonious dialogue of colours, forms, and emotions.
Paula Quiñonez’s work delves into the theme of identity, exploring individual responses to modern globalized society through strong symbolisms of pop culture. In contrast, Daphne Klagkou transforms traditional materials into contemporary art pieces, fostering a playful dialogue between past and present; whereas Irene de Vilder infuses traditional objects, like vases with contemporary imagery, adding another layer of interpretation. Despite their thematic differences, they all employ transformative methods in their artistic practices, whether through symbolism, materials, or imagery.
The Paths We Cross is more than a static display; it is an exploration of human curiosity and a tribute to the endless possibilities that arise when we venture into the unknown. It’s an invitation to traverse the intricate patterns of our interconnected world.
Some works seek to explore the continuity of human experiences and how our collective history informs our present-day realities, while others generate visual paradoxes in which these objects move seamlessly between past, present, and future.
