GROUP EXHIBITION

Contemporary painting is continuously experiencing a revolutionary grammar of violence on both physical and metaphorical levels amidst globalisation and technological upheaval—ranging from the material tearing of the canvas to the deconstruction of cultural symbols, and the fragmented reassembly of identity narratives. This revolution is not merely an aesthetic stance; it is a cognitive guerrilla initiated by artists in the fault lines of civilisation.

This group exhibition selects eight artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, revealing how painting can achieve rebirth through ‘destructive rituals,’ ‘archaeology of trauma,’ and ‘allegorical resistance.’ By focusing on their radical explorations of the materiality of painting, cultural identity, and existential dilemmas, we witness not only the reflexive experiments of the painting medium but also the poetic stitching of the wounds of civilisation.
