The Anatomy of Ambiguity. Duo show Ada Muntean & Mathias Bar at Biju Gallery

The Anatomy of Ambiguity is a duo show type of exhibition, presented by Biju Gallery, that describes a carefully constructed ambient marked by intimacy through its artistic approaches . Following a red thread, it leads to a configuration of states where ambiguity becomes an expressive instrument.

The projects visually incorporate cutouts of probable realities, comprising figurative fragments that belong to the imagination of two artists. The Anatomy of Ambiguity represents the third part of a trilogy, following the first two exhibitions of the series: Anatomy of a Knock-out (2021) and Anatomy of a Tragedy (2022).

The figurative elements, organic, vegetal, or anatomical that appear in the art pieces symbolically suggest the cyclicity of life by presenting small, precious fragments of the ephemeral. The repetitive process symbolizing birth, growth, maturity, and death illustrates the natural existential circuit. The corporality of the vegetal structures or of the human body per se is explored through experimental compositions made through various techniques: oil on canvas, watercolour on wood panel, charcoal on canvas, and drawing on wood panel.

In Ada Muntean’s vision, the human body describes a reality known but not strictly outlined, materializing the confession of a personal history. Thus, her compositions aim to dematerialize the body. In Mathias Bar’s work, the pictural substance configures corporal details, evoking the tragedy in a subtle and subversive manner. Within The Anatomy of Ambiguity exhibition, there are visual cues for vegetal matter. Still, the formal aspect of the project does not gravitate towards an ecological perspective but rather towards a subjective and personal interpretation of very personal existential stages. The compositions become starting points in imagining individual artistic directions that converge into an ambient meant to create an atmosphere that stimulates knowledge, interpretation, and the questioning of a progressively more bizarre reality.

The Anatomy of Ambiguity
thus becomes a synthesis of the transformations through which the two artists’ approaches have gone in the past years, marking a cyclical process of dissolving and reconfiguring work styles. The exhibition presents itself as an experiment reuniting various visual media to explore corporality through the filter of two distinct plastic universes. (excerpt from the curatorial text)

The exhibition will be open to the public until July 15. Free entrance.
