#7, GALLERY ALLIAGES, LILLE
(UN)AVOWABLE SECRETS
May 2nd-5th 2024
Château-musée Grimaldi, Place du Château, First floor, Carlone Room, 08600 Cagnes-sur-Mer
Secrets are the hidden treasures in the human soul, because secrets have something to do with truth. The truths that we keep from others -and very often from ourselves- are the secrets we guard with our life and only reveal to those we fully trust. At the same time secrets are the source of our creative powers, of our weaknesses, our joys and our sorrows, our pride and our shame.
Art is the expression of the human spirit: the way we transform our thoughts, feelings, dreams, and fears. Art is how we make sense of our inner and outer reality- it is the way we create beauty and meaning, the way we share our secrets with others, the way we expose our vulnerabilities and inner strengths.
Art is the bridge between the avowable and unavowable secrets – it is the way we reconcile our inner conflicts, the way we heal our wounds, the way we transform our pain into beauty.
Art is the way we reveal more of our true selves, the way we accept ourselves and others, the way we give something true from ourselves to humanity.
