This year's presentation

The works of Jone Kvie and Ella McVeigh explore questions of existence and our place within it. Known for his sculptures in stone and bronze, Kvie examines composite deliberations on nature and life, where intangible phenomena merge with the physical reality of the material world. From marble embodying histories of several millennia, to cast renderings of discarded objects of the 21st century and elements of outer space, he evokes sentiments of existence that engage with matters of identity and its relation to the accumulation of knowledge.

Ella McVeigh proposes a similar deliberation through her continuous and fluctuating examination of painting. Layer upon layer, her abstract, rapid, and persistent compositions assert a state where nothing is specific and everything is in constant motion. By examining mechanisms of narrative, reflections of the self, and layers of being, the works of Kvie and McVeigh present a renewed dialogue on identity and existence in a climate of contemporary chaos.
