Frenetic Harmony traces the dual currents of contemporary life: velocity and stillness, collision and accord. In the abstract paintings, swaths of muted and saturated color move alongside jagged, impulsive marks—each gesture a direct response to the sensory saturation of the city. These surfaces do not merely depict urban chaos; they absorb it, translating noise into rhythm, dissonance into a pulse that insists on being felt.
Against this urgency, the exhibition sets works in mixed media, assemblage, and sculptural form—articulations of pause and precision. Here, intricacy becomes its own language: fragile planes, deliberate alignments, and meditative structures invite a slower gaze. This counterpoint does not erase the frenzy but frames it, offering moments where attention gathers, steadies, and holds.
Together, the works suggest that harmony is not the absence of turbulence but its negotiation—a shifting balance struck between the forces that press in and the spaces we carve to breathe.
