“Oscillate Sequence” Installation view ©ThisWeekendRoom

ThisWeekendRoom presents a group exhibition “Oscillate Sequence”, on view through August 17. “Oscillate Sequence” departs from the characteristics found in the works of Carlo D’Anselmi, Maxim Brandt, and Shinyoung Park, who produce images from different motives.

Each of their paintings is a chain of mise-en-scène woven by their imagination. The objects depicted in the frames, varying in texture and size, are composed of everyday people and objects, yet they possess a theatrical and unrealistic feel. The artists use intense contrasts of light and shade and a wide spectrum of colors, appropriating traditional representational techniques as needed, and constructing a poetic formative language through the careful collage of visual references.

The exhibition positions the three artists as editors who weave a narrative based on independent sources and seek to examine what aspects of reality the montages they present reflect.

The three artists consider the micro and macro factors that shape their lives as the basis for their work. For them, the catalysts of art are the emotions triggered by relationships with others, the tensions and concerns arising between humans and nature, and the Vanitas question posed at every turn of life.

Ultimately, these sequences oscillate between material bases and metaphysical ideas, slowly tapping into the audience’s memory and senses.
