 ‘abstract experience’ on show at danysz gallery 

 

More than 60 years after MoMA’s historic exhibition, ‘The Responsive Eye’, questioning how our vision responds to experiences with foundational art elements like color, pattern, and light, Danysz Gallery has gathered three new artists in Paris to launch ‘Abstract Experience’ — an exhibition exploring the renewal of geometric abstraction in modern generations. 

 

Coming from Berlin, Budapest, and Paris, it made sense to bring together these three artists from different horizons. For whether it is between two or three dimensions, these modern descendants of trompe l’oeil, perspective, and anamorphosis all master in their own way space and colors, to give the visitor a high-level experience,’ writes the gallery.

three artists exploring geometry, purity, & energy

 

From Tomislav Topic’s colorful installations to Sebastien Preschoux’s perfect lines or the subtle play of movement generated by Zsuzsanna Korodi, the participating artists of ‘Abstract Experience’ at Danysz have in common the will to create an intense experience by inviting spectators to observe, analyze, and even move around their works. This process is engendered by obeying the logic of mathematical order and composing with restricted forms. In that way, the works draw attention to the purity of a line, the energy of the vacuum, the vibrations of a grid, the tension of a point, and the force of contrasts.

 

‘...the artists offer us deeply aesthetic works showing a great stringency and radicality. Each piece in this group exhibition leads the viewer to question their place in the space. Often lost, questioning their own reality, the spectator is fascinated by the disconcerting optical effects which change the decor in a dynamic way. These works push the mechanisms of human perception to the maximum of their capacity, yet the questioning process gives way to fascination and a flow of emotions,’ continues Danysz

‘It’s well known that historically, artists have kept questioning and heightening ways of seeing and interacting with the works. In 1955, the resounding exhibition The Movement took place under the impulse of the gallery owner Denise Rene and the artist Victor Vasarely. Deriving from geometric abstraction, Kinetic art is then quickly assigned to a vast set of artistic approaches in which the real or virtual movement occupies a determining place.’

 

‘Abstract Experience’ will be on show from March 18 to May 6, 2023, at Danysz in Paris.
