The exhibition celebrates the curiosity and exploration of the four artists Dante Cannatella, Diane Chappalley, White Harris, Soko into both the personal and historical elements that are often present in the medium of painting. The exhibition title refers to a place in time, without saying where and when. The agency of this show is to transcend the fixed realities of time by fusing the past and the present into a single dimension. For this occasion each participating artist has carefully chosen a masterwork as a point of departure for new dialogues to be had.
The works span from early renaissance, baroque, and modernism, covering some of the most important epoques of art history. Through playful re-investigation of shape, color, proportion, composition and storyline, the artists’ shared interest in nature, psychology and mythology is newly explored.
