Simplicity, a step towards the spiritual ?
Kiho Kang, Kati Tuominen-Niittylä, Paul Philp, Isabelle Roux, Maria Bosch
As Magritte said: “to access the invisible reality”. Elegant secular formula to signify the sacred stripped of the sacrament. How to do ? Start with a very simple technique, if not even archaic: to present yourself as a centurion with bare hands to face the battle of creation. What purpose ? Hoping for the ecstasy of a spiritual revelation born from matter itself. That after shaping and firing, the material itself declares the uniqueness between the work produced and its creator artist. And make it obvious to everyone. Here is an exhibition of works offering you a resolutely sacred reading. That they are, for the most part, pots, is surely no coincidence because the reminder of their original function, perhaps long unused, is already a step in the right direction of deep rooting.
