Intro“Between Figuration and Abstraction” is

an exhibition about the revival of figure art in the digital age.

This exhibition interrogates the place of the physical body in a time of developing

interest in virtual realities, online perso-nas and digital

media slower mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking represent the human figure, the constant subject. With this exhibition we offer an antidote to our current image- saturated culture, in which we obsessively scroll, flick and browse through an online visual world, leaving our physical selves behind.
