Sotheby’s Institute of Art is pleased to present Interwoven Souls: United in Loneliness, curated by Valentine Botteri, Kanishka Porwal & Monica Zhang.
Featuring works by Timothy Bair, Mitsuko Brooks, Aleah Chapin, Nazli Efe, Hannah Ehrlich, Nava Gidanian-Kagan, Tom Prinsell, Youyi Echo Yan, and DW Zinsser, the exhibition aims to explore the universal dichotomy between human connection and isolation.
Interwoven Souls: United in Loneliness brings together the diverse expressions of nine artists, each articulating their unique reactions to this conflicting world of unity and isolation. Through varied mediums - from painting, drawing, woodcraft, and metal forging to digital design and moulding this group of artists translate their spiritual perceptions into tangible forms, offering a multifaceted reflection on the very nature of individualism and interconnectedness.
Amidst the revival of individualism catalysed by late capitalism in our post-pandemic awakening, Interwoven Souls invites the viewer to rediscover the enduring interconnectedness of humanity, forging bonds of unity to counter the loneliness of our time. This exhibition not only serves as a mirror reflecting our contemporary state but also a magnifying lens that amplifies the recurring whispers of history.
