The shift from figurative to abstract art emerged from a collective conceptual process that presupposed a letting go of static ideas about reality. Abstraction invites you, similar to dreams, to enter unknown territories that tickle your curiosity through its opaqueness, ephemeral character and infused elements of disguise. Dreaming of Abstraction explores the investigative attitude towards perception that connects Marino Marini, Serge Poliakoff and Pierre Soulages. These artists dared to go beyond by digging deeper into the essences of seemingly ordinary things like colour, light and life itself.
