Opening Reception
Sat, Dec 2, 2023 from 4:00 – 7:00pm CET
Enari Gallery invites you to the festive opening of Moons, a group exhibition featuring works by Johanna Bath, Amy Beager, Maya Fuji, Ariane Heloise Hughes, Minyoung Kim and Ioanna Limniou.
The Moon has long been a potent symbol of femininity and the female presence in art, with its soft, luminous glow serving as a muse for countless artists across centuries. Its gentle, ever-changing phases reflect the natural rhythms of life and the world, much like the varied aspects of womanhood. This connection between the Moon and the feminine is deeply ingrained in cultural and artistic representations. Artists have depicted the Moon in various forms, from serene lunar landscapes to romantic moonlit scenes, often imbued with a sense of mystery and enchantment.
As revealed by the exhibited artworks, the journey of the female gaze starts a conversation that goes beyond just aesthetic contemplation. The artists bravely resist the traditional relegation of women to passive objects of visual consumption, proposing a counter version of the classic male gaze.
The festive opening will take place on 2 December from 16:00 to 19:00 and will be on display until 20 January at Enari Gallery.
