GR gallery is pleased to present “Enigmatic Glance,” a group exhibition featuring artists Tania Marmolejo, Tatsuhito Horikoshi, Masumi Yamamoto, and TRNZ. This event will showcase 16 paintings, executed with the artists‘ signature techniques with a specific focus on the characters’ facial expressions and gaze. Through ambiguous countenances, the exhibition attempts to convey the magic of a reinterpreted everyday life.
“Enigmatic Glance“ delves into the neutral expression, reinterpreting it as a subtle form of emotional communication. The expressionless face, often the most natural and frequent in everyday life, is presented in this exhibition as a canvas capable of conveying a wide range of meanings. From this perspective, neutrality is not emptiness but a state rich with potential interpretation.
The artists highlight the inherent beauty of stillness and invite curiosity about the emotions or stories that might lie beneath. Through their works, the exhibition reveals the delicate boundary between emotion and calm, offering a glimpse into the hidden rhythms and mysteries of facial expressions.
