All Is Flux : Nothing Stays Still

19 September - 30 October 2024

Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus expressed  “All is flux. Nothing stays still”  This philosophical concept finds resonance in the ever-changing imagery of transience observed in the shifting seasons, while also acknowledging the enduring presence of humanity amidst this perpetual change.

 

A timeless subject in art, the autumn season has been an inspiration for artists throughout history. While articulations of this colorful season preceding the dark periods changed with time, what remained constant is the atmosphere and emotions time provokes, translated by artists into allegorical, realist, symbolic, and even abstract forms. However, artists integrate these images with human preoccupations such as the transience of time, as a symbol of transformation and the cycle of life. It explores that all things are temporary and that change is inevitable, engaging in emotional travels through their psyche and feelings that are provoked by changing times. The exhibition would encapsulate the essence of what surrounds us and what we are reminded of.
