Contemporary Art: Soft Horizons @ Plato New York


 (Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary art is full of surprises. On a resent walk on Manhattan`s popular Bowery I spotted an interesting show @ gallery Plato. The art dealer displayed works by the Canadian Erik Nieminen. The show is called "Soft Horizons" (platogallery ). I show here my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.

 




The press release claims that "drawing inspiration from classical mythology, historical narratives and the digital age, this evolving body of work blurs the boundaries between creation and decay, reality and imagination". 

 




The press release adds: "A key theme of the exhibition is the interplay between control and chaos. Some paintings exude meticulous order, while others are layered with change and fluidity, inviting ambiguity. The ‘grey area’ – a space of curiosity and transformation – emerges as a central motif, challenging rigid binaries of good and bad, past and future. This liminal space, much like history itself, is constantly rewritten".
