Spring has creeped up on us. The new season announces the beginning of all things and to celebrate, Spring presents a feast of vibrant colors. The title of the exhibition 'IN BLOOM' praises life in the era of New Normal through the harmony of line and color and beauty of art after a long winter.Line vs Color? Querelle du colorisGenerally in appreciating an artwork, we first look at how much weight the artist places on line and color to perceive the artistic style and ideology of an artist.EM focuses on ‘the artist’s own way of bringing sublime to the value of classical painting’ and ‘the balance between line and color’ when curating the two persons duet exhibition with artists from Helsinki, Finland and Basel, Switzerland. The artists use intricate lines of precision to describe their inner feelings, keeping the harmony between the inner and outer layers of the composition. We hope to share with the audiences the value of exactitude in the way the artists use line and color for an immersive and emotional experience through a feast of colors.The two artists express their intuitive emotions rather than their daily mundane moments, through arrangement, combination and fragments of line and color. This shows the artists’ internal world rather than mimic or depict the outside world. The artists’ artistic sensitivity spreads the symphony of colors on canvas. Through our appreciation, we are braced with a Spring of splendor. We hope that those who seek art, experience artistic life and art of life where art is omnipresent.
