AIKE-DELLARCO is pleased to announce the exhibition “Hearing Colors, Tasting Shapes”, featuring works by Tang Dixin (China), Giuseppe Gabellone (Italy), Diego Perrone (Italy), Jurgen Ots (Belgium), Lee Kit (Hong Kong), and Neïl Beloufa (France).
The exhibition gathers together a group of artists who, regardless of their geographical distance and contextual diversity, are engaged in redefining the identity of their art practice, activating a contamination between different mediums like painting, sculptures, video and performance.
“Hearing Colors, Tasting Shapes” is a playful reference to the phenomenon of Synesthesia, a physical condition that allows those affected to experience the ordinary world in extraordinary ways.
This exhibition borrows the basic concept that lies within Synesthesia, to offer a metaphor of any creative effort that embrace the possibility of cross-connections between unrelated conceptual realms, and that by elaborating the ordinary world through extraordinary connections, offers us novel perspectives on everyday experiences and familiar notions.
