Art Trope Gallery is delighted to present its new group exhibition "Resilience: Beyond Sorrows" featuring the work and vision of the gallery's artists along with some guest artists through painting and sculpture. It aims to demonstrate that art has been, and can become for some people a driving force in healing from a traumatic event or from an incomprehensible world. Art is thus a springboard for reflection.
As a fairly recent psychological concept that takes root in the twentieth century, resilience has strongly marked the history of the arts. For the conflicts that are unfortunately still current with the war in Ukraine, for example Picasso confronts his trauma through his famous painting Guernica, while the work of René Magritte can be seen as a way of presenting his feelings about the Second World War. Art being an unlimited window of expression for the one who realizes it, he can transcribe his report to the evils which torment him. This is why the Artist brings to light with his know-how his personal feeling so difficult to express in our modern society. By stopping in front of the realities, we cannot remain passive and it results from it a strong didactic evolution: the art testifies and can in a singular way avoid cyclic, even recurring situations.
We are warmly invite you to discover our group show from April 12th to June 18th 2022, which offers a multitude of views on the evolution of our thoughts and what has marked us as beings. It will allow you to take a look at the other, which is also a reminder to yourself.
