Invisible forces delves into the unseen currents shaping human perception, cultural identities, and social narratives. It is an exploration of the hidden elements—cultural, historical, scientific, and psychological—that manifest in contemporary art, influencing our collective consciousness. Bringing together a multigenerational group of artists, the exhibition reveals a universe where invisible forces interact and intervene, striving to find a harmonious equilibrium.

These artists share a fascination with the intangible and a mastery of the paper medium. It is a peculiar form of alchemy that emerges from the works, coupled with a renewed belief in art as a tool for revealing the unseen. Each artist harnesses the inherent versatility of paper to unravel intricate layers of meaning, transforming the mundane into a testament to the invisible threads that bind us.

Drawing inspiration from the delicate and ephemeral nature of paper, the exhibition assembles a collection of intricate prints, drawings, paintings, and collages —a cabinet of curiosities that pieces together a fragmented and elusive reality. The presentation folds the tangible into the intangible, creating works that can be interpreted as relics, symbols, and narratives. Temporally detached from any single point of orientation, the display emerges as a study of the present from an ethereal place, a reflection on the unseen forces that subtly yet profoundly shape our world.
