THE WINDOW OPENS LIKE AN ORANGE

February 1st – March 15th
At the beginning of the 20th century, metaphysical painting proposed a new visual typology based on allusions and illusions from Antiquity and the Renaissance, as well as an enigma. As Giorgio de Chirico defined it, the enigma was the epiphany you get from contact with reality, as if it were seen for the first time. We can extrapolate by suggesting that all art is an enigma in this sense, a way of producing the revelation of pure gaze.
