In April 2024, we were selected to participate in Precise Perplexity, a multidisciplinary Critical Review Catalogue Publication and Online Exhibition organized by Aedra Fine Arts, Atlanta, Georgia, US and curated by Michael Hanna – Writer & Editor, Director of Certified Independent Publishers.
Our works were presented in the online exhibition alongside our professional website, while our participation also placed our practice within the publication’s critical review process. From the participating artists, only six were selected as Best in Show, receiving a dedicated critical essay by the curators and publication in the official catalogue.
We were honored to be selected among the six Best in Show artists.
The works selected for the exhibition reflected our distinctive approach to abstraction, combining tempera with 24-karat Pure Gold leaf to explore light, depth, symbolism and the expressive potential of precious materials.
Our participation was accompanied by a critical presentation of our artistic practice, examining the visual language developed through our use of precious metals leaf, refined forms and references to ancient and classical aesthetics.
“As we contemplate the ancient characteristics of these small treasures, we should observe the connections these works bring with our ancestors. Seldom does contemporary art successfully bridge the ancient past with the contemporary present as successfully as these paintings. With an incorporation of precious metals leaf and a delicate palette, the art speaks through generations and connects us with a state of mind which resembles ancient and universal principles of honor, elegance, and glory.” – Michael Hanna – Aedra Fine Arts
The recognition and publication offered us an opportunity to present our work within an international multidisciplinary context and to have our practice considered through a critical curatorial perspective.
