Blank Canvas
Jun 25, 2015 - Sep 15, 2015
“My father did not [...] buy us coloring books because ‘you will condition them to draw within someone else’s lines.’ Instead, we only got blank paper. Blank canvas - to craft our own work, our own ideas.” -Ben Zweibelson FELLINI Gallery proudly presents “BLANK CANVAS,” a group exhibition featuring acclaimed international artists Jose Gonzalo Medellin Herrera, Lena Kami, Desi Civera, Mark Ashton Vey, Yohei Iketani, Silvia Paci and Shingo Ishida. Given a blank material, artists face both its physicality as well as the specific clichés that it embodies: from stock gestures to routine ways of seeing. Reaching beyond its rawness, and beyond our automatic responses to it, an artistic vision must stage an encounter torn between presence and abstraction.
