Their works range from figurative to abstract representations, interrogating the embodied experience and how personal and cultural narratives manifest in contemporary painting.

The exhibition prompts audiences to engage with how bodies relate to their environments, encouraging a dialogue about identity, memory, and the materiality of painting. By merging personal history with artistic expression, the artists forge a connection that transcends traditional boundaries between subject and environment, inviting deeper reflection on embodied experiences in contemporary life.
