Sunlight & Solitude

Sunlight & Solitude brings together works that hold summer in luminous suspension — figures drifting through radiant seas, portraits alive with heat and immediacy, and abstractions that blur like haze. Each piece becomes a meditation on light as memory, presence, and reflection.

Start Series

Sunlight & Solitude explores the ways artists translate summer’s radiance into form — from drifting figures and luminous horizons to hazy abstractions and intimate moments of pause. Each work reflects on light as memory and metaphor, revealing how presence, leisure, and introspection unfold within its glow.

Sunlight & Solitude gathers works that approach summer as both subject and state of mind. In this selection, light becomes both subject and metaphor — a vessel for memory, longing, and introspection. Whether refracted through a lens of intimacy, suspended in dreamlike stillness, or diffused across vast horizons, each artist offers a different register: from the quiet pause of a figure in repose to the infinite openness of a seascape.

Together, these artists reveal how the language of light — its warmth, its intensity, its transience — can hold space for both connection and retreat. These are meditations on presence and distance, on moments stretched thin by languor or sharpened by reflection, inviting us to inhabit their luminous, unhurried worlds.

Fractured self

Imagine yourself as a mosaic - each shard a memory, each fragment a story. Identity is fragmented, nonlinear, imperfect. Through collage, artists reassemble past and present into visual diaries, embracing the messiness of memory to reveal a self that is ever-evolving, resilient, and beautifully incomplete.
