The Garden Within
Upcoming exhibition
Overview
An exhibition which invites us to reflect on the balance between our inner world and external reality, and on how nature and art can serve as sources of renewal and regeneration.
Mia Karlova Galerie presents ‘The Garden Within’, a new multidisciplinary show introducing the works of Dutch and international artists Femke van Gemert, Anastasiya Pribelskaya, Jesse Visser, Valery Pchelin, Anna Kunst and Valeriya Isyak. Paper, glass, textile, stones, crystals, porcelain feathers: each of the works invites us to reflect on the balance between our inner world and the external reality, and on how nature and art can serve as sources of renewal and regeneration.
In the world of ongoing chaos, we are trapped in the endless avalanche of disturbing information. An escapism becomes the only survival strategy. We search for the way to slow down and to hear ourselves again. We seek to restore lost connections with the nature and the world around us. Open from 28 May until 31 July, The Garden Within invites the viewer to the inner garden, a place of solitude and renewal.
The objects presented in the gallery serve as a way into this secluded inner space, where each of us finds a way to restore our emotional calmness, hide away from the streams of constantly changing visual images and go to true us. The Garden Within is a meeting of artists and designers who communicate through the language of tactile sensations, textures, and biomorphic forms, bringing to life a deep connection with nature and its rhythms.
The exhibition is co-curated by Mia Karlova and Marina Shirskaya
