WHY VISIT
"Take my eyes off' focuses on contemporary painting caught in a complex and passionate entanglement with “vision” and “images.” This exhibition examines the strategies employed by today’s painters who, in response to an overwhelming visual landscape saturated with images, attempt to break free and search for a new visual language. Using “eyes” as a central metaphor, the exhibition presents contemporary paintings that challenge established modes of seeing, thus revealing painting’s potential as a practice of resistance and renewal. 'Take my eyes off' invites viewers to encounter works that strive to “pull our eyes away” from today's image overload, offering insight into the story of painting as it confronts its own limitations."
