Catharsis

Artists: Aron Barath, Rémy Hysbergue, Alejandro Javaloyas & Maya Makino
Duration: April 8—July 9, 2023
Location: Viewing room

CAI Gallery is pleased to present Catharsis, a group exhibition showcasing a selection of seventeen abstract paintings by Aron Barath, Rémy Hysbergue, Alejandro Javaloyas, and Maya Makino. Catharsis is the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.

The term originated in Ancient Greece and is most commonly used today to refer to an act or process of purification of thoughts and emotions. One can find catharsis in dramaturgy­—where an intentional tension is resolved, resulting in a feeling of joy; in psychology—where a buried trauma is expressed and brought to consciousness, resulting in an emotional release improving our mental health; and, in this case, also in painting.

The exhibition runs from April 8 until July 9, 2023, in the CAI Viewing Room.
