125 Space x Samo

We are thrilled to announce that 125 Space is hosting the much-anticipated solo exhibition, "Uncomfortable Poses," by the talented artist Michael Slusakowicz. The exhibition opening is set for the 15th, followed by an extraordinary celebration at Samo restaurant on the 16th, right next to 125 Space. This event promises to seamlessly blend music, art, and gastronomy for a day of unparalleled sensory delight.

Exhibition Overview

Michael Slusakowicz, renowned for his work primarily in painting, consistently produces captivating pieces organized into sequential series. His artistic vision unfolds in constructed scenes inspired by real-life settings, meticulously rearranged to create borderline dreamscapes. These paintings, characterized by dramatic, moody color palettes and a realist approach, present collages of fleeting moments akin to flickers of a candlelit flame.

Exploring the Unconscious

"Uncomfortable Poses" is a collection that delves deeper into Slusakowicz's exploration of color and mood. The artist's spontaneous compositions interact harmoniously through key, tonality, color, and recurring imagery. This deliberate interplay invites viewers to craft their own interpretations and narratives, fostering a highly personal and immersive experience.

Themes and Imagery

The paintings within this collection capture feelings of uncertainty and anxiety, employing uneasy figures, distorted colors, and uncanny landscape elements. Slusakowicz's supernatural figures navigate the delicate balance between two worlds—the conscious and the unconscious. The art serves as a profound commentary on the mental burdens imposed by contemporary issues, offering a unique perspective on the human experience.

Personal Interpretation

By allowing space for viewers to insert their own histories and ideas, "Uncomfortable Poses" becomes a collaborative exploration. Each painting serves as a canvas for individual interpretation, creating a rich tapestry of diverse perspectives and emotions. This engagement with the artwork transforms the exhibition into a deeply personal journey for every attendee.

"Uncomfortable Poses" is not just an exhibition—it's an exploration of the human psyche, a celebration of individuality, and an invitation to engage with art on a profoundly personal level.
