Whiter than White

EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION

This color is the beginning of time, the beginning of history. It is the source of light and life. In art, a white spot is the designation of a path that encompasses the entire infinity of color relationships throughout its full extent.

 

The project Whiter than White speaks of an atmospheric experience, of the artistic states of mind that visit us in the silence of winter. White is the fundamental color of pictorial space. It is present in every pigment, in every fragment of a painting. An artist’s mastery is determined by their ability to work with this chromatic foundation.

The viewer enters a space of emptiness and light. Winter—as the image of the surrounding scenery—signifies silence, stillness, and the absence of time. Whiter than White is an exhibition about how to find the present, for it is the ultimate point of elapsed time, while the future is merely an endlessly enduring emptiness.

The aim of the exhibition project Whiter than White is to immerse the viewer in an environment of calm and stillness of thought. These are the visual elements of emptiness, revealed through the fabric of the scenery and the works of art. The visitor is stripped of spatial and temporal points of reference, granting an infinite freedom of choice and a purity of experience.
