Villa Gaïa 2022
Identity and Mutability is a group exhibition presenting work by Tereza Cervenová, Christopher P. Green, Tom Lovelace, David Murphy and Rade Petrasevic.
The exhibition consists of over twenty artworks installed throughout AMAVIA’s Villa Gaia. Creating a uniquely immersive experience for its guests, it explores the themes of identity and mutability, highlighting the tension between a fixed moment in time and its states of change.
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said ‘change is the only constant in life’. Artists have always been interested in analysing this concept by depicting and defining moments in flux. In the exhibition each one of the selected artists approaches identity and mutability in a different manner: either by portraying the essence of ephemeral subject matter, or through precise creative processes using unpredictable mediums.
Rade Petrasevic
Rade Petrasevic’s paintings use a distinctive and vibrant palette, which is intensified by his use of flat, expressive brushstrokes that handle the oil paint as if it were a marker pen.
