Memory plays on your mind while looking at art. Art evokes a range of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Reliving them, in this hall of mirrors, is a complicated narrative of overlaps. Here are paintings within paintings, viewers watching viewers within the painting viewing paintings in the painting; in real spaces, in the space of the museum, at home and in the artist’s cave of creativity. The artist and the viewer’s perception overlap and sometimes separate in a deep dive of incomprehension. It’s an abstract experience. Sadly, nothing remains simple. Happily, everything is complex.
