The Gallery is proud to announce The Humanity of Small Things, our upcoming online-only group exhibition featuring small works created during the recent period of self-isolation by aspiring and accomplished artists from the region and beyond.
Created in the solitude of each artist’s home or studio in a time of great uncertainty, the pieces in this show attempt to find and regain grounding in the quiet, fleeting moments that now command our attention.At the same time, the show contemplates on a contemporary art world in the midst of a major shift – a world being forced to move from the glitz and glamour of big, blockbuster exhibits to something more raw, modest and real.
It is an invitation for artists to meditate and reflect on our rapidly changing world – the ordinary stories; the small victories; the quiet and neglected voices that had been sidelined now filled with vigor and renewed significance.
The Humanity of Small Things opens online at gajahgallery.com on Friday, 19 June 2020.
