Surfaces, whether physical, social, or cultural, serve as both a medium of visibility and a veil that can obscure deeper meanings, while also acting as an invitation to a different realm. Under the Skin explores the interplay between surface and essence. It invites viewers to look through the obvious to engage with the radiant, unspoken qualities that define the essence of what they observe, whether it’s a painting, an object, a person, or a life event.


In a world of sensory overload, dominated by both carefully curated visuals and the sheer deluge of information, where appearances are often mediated and surveillance culture thrives, this exhibition invites us to reconsider what can emerge when authenticity and deeper insights are offered. Touching on abstract, spiritual, and feminist-themed paintings and sculptures, Under the Skin reflects on how works that seek aesthetic beauty and profound introspection can transcend the allure of mere appearance, revealing essence when external layers are stripped away. This perspective challenges viewers to slow down, to look thoughtfully and find the ideas, emotions, and complexities that lie beneath the veneer of things, as tantalizing and pleasurable as that is. By doing so, surfaces are transformed into gateways, entry points that lead us to deeper insights of truth, resilience, and transformation.
