The Tainted: New Works By Shan Hur And Aron Demetz

The Tainted: New Works by Shan Hur and Aron Demetz explores the human search for a balance between striving for perfection and the acknowledgment and acceptance of life’s limitations.

For The Tainted, renowned Italian artist Aron Demetz will present a new body of sculptures, which are a continuation of his long-standing fascination with the human figure. Working in wood, Demetz uses this material to highlight both the harmony and conflicts that exist between man and nature. These works are not only a reflection of human emotion but hark back to far more primitive origins of the first interactions between people and their surroundings.

The unique work of Korean artist Shan Hur cases the viewer to doubt and question their perceptions – an emotional response that is crucial to the development of the enlightened self. His works, such as collapsed ruin or cracked column, are put into extremely ordinary spaces found in everyday life.
