Les Enchantées
curated by Nicola E. Petek & Stephan Klee
This comprehensive exploration of contemporary painting weaves together works by an expansive group of artists, each with varying cultural circumstances. Migrant, postcolonial, queer and feminist narratives are intertwined through the visual medium of paint on canvas. Inspired by the visuals of Magical Realism, the exhibited works imagine the potential coexistence of reality and fantasy.
