ZHIVAGO DUNCAN

THE RARE BUT KNOWN PHENOMENON

The MEEM Gallery is pleased to announce its new exhibition The Rare But Known Phenomenon by Zhivago Duncan, opening on 24 February 2024.

 

Painting serves as a profound mode of visual expression, encapsulating the essence of the world that surrounds me. Within this new collection, I have endeavored to distill the complexity of ideas and images into a meditative practice that mirrors the cycles of nature, whether it be the gentle unfolding of a sunrise, the fiery blaze of a sunset, or any other natural phenomenon typically devoid of philosophical interpretation. When human interaction interlaces with the act of creation, observers inevitably find themselves reflecting upon the underlying motivations. It is within this dynamic interplay that human empathy and ego emerge, emanating from a common core and guiding the viewer towards a perception of the external world as a reflection of the self.
