Welcome to Interwoven Realities – a group exhibition at Harta Space – where the boundaries of reality blur and intersect in a mesmerising display of artistic expression. Interwoven Realities brings together the works of 32 talented artists, each offering a unique perspective on the intricate tapestry of existence.
Within these walls, you will encounter a diverse array of styles and mediums, reflecting the multifaceted nature of our shared reality. From the ethereal landscapes of abstraction to the precision of geometric lines, from the evocative narratives of figurative art to the cutting-edge innovation of digital creations, every piece contributes to the rich fabric of our collective experience.
Sculptures rise like monuments to human ingenuity, while text-based art speaks volumes in its silent eloquence. Textile and fibre-based works invite touch, weaving threads of meaning and memory into tangible form.
As you wander through this exploratory exhibition, allow yourself to be transported beyond the confines of everyday perception. Here, the boundaries between the real and the imagined blur, inviting contemplation and sparking conversation. Interwoven Realities invites you to discover the myriad ways in which our world is shaped, connected, and transformed through the lens of artistic vision.
Let’s delve into the curated journey through diverse thematic sections that illuminate the complex tapestry of existence through compelling artworks and discover the captivating narratives woven by our talented artists:
Abstraction: Enter a realm where form dissolves into essence, as Adam Ummar (Universo), Alicia Lau, Azam Nasri, Emy Thiran, Mulaika, Kika Goldstein, and Nini Marini evoke emotions and provoke thought through their enigmatic compositions.
Digital Art: Witness the convergence of technology and creativity as Aliya Mai Sarah pushes the boundaries of visual expression inspired by the potent beauty of Garcinia atroviridis, a homage to nature’s quiet power and resilience.
Figurative: Explore the depths of human experience through the dreamlike interpretations of Danielle Lin, Lim Yong Wei’s pursuit of personal strength, and Elly Nor Suria’s evocative representations.
Geometric Lines: Experience the harmony of tradition, materiality, and introspection through intricate patterns and precise forms by Agnes Lau, Arikwibowo Amril, Cheong Tuck Wai, Falil Johari, Farah Ashira Mohammad Ariffin, and Fazrin Abdul Rahman.
Sculptures: Marvel at Mohd Saharuddin Supar’s Bom Bunga, forged from mild steel in an expression of freedom and physical manifestation of artistic vision in three-dimensional form and Anniketyni Madian’s delicate yet sturdy embodiment of beauty and tradition weaving together original songket, 3D laser cut motifs, with resin, wood and metal in an exquisite wall-mounted sculpture.
Text-based Art: Delve into the fusion of semantics and graphics as Abu Fikrah, Ammar Idris, Anas Afandi, Muhammad Ibrahim, and Raja Muhammad ‘Imran weave language into visual narratives, enhancing conceptual artworks with layers of meaning and introspection.
Textile, Fibre and Alternative Art: Immerse yourself in emotive expressions crafted from textile, fabric, and alternative media, as Ang Xia Yi, Cheong See Min, Jakob van Klang, Kimberley Boudville, Nadia Nizamuddin, Nor Tijan Firdaus, Nurul Diyana Kairulanuar, and Xeem Noor weave together personal memories and experiences to explore the intersections of the personal and the universal.
Each section offers a distinct perspective on the interwoven realities that shape our world. From established luminaries to emerging talents, these artists invite you to journey through the intersections of imagination and truth, where meaning unfolds in myriad forms.
