Show, Don't Tell presents Nicoline Aspvik & Caterina Carraro
Nicoline Aspvik & Caterina Carraro
27 June 2025 19:00 – 29 June 2025 19:00
This showcase brings together two dynamic artists exploring the boundaries between the real and the imaginary. In dialogue with one another, the artists encourage viewers to question their relationship with the modern world. A diverse selection of mediums will be on show, from acrylic and oil paintings to sculpture and digital displays.
Nicoline's series 'Souls of Nature' captures what the naked eye can't see. The souls and essence of plants and inanimate objects envisioned with the help of digital tools. Exploring theories and beliefs that objects, places and plants all possess a spiritual essence. In her project, the mystical and the digital walk hand in hand, which many would assume to be an oxymoron. References made with the help of photography and photoshop are replicated by hand as acrylic paintings and installations. Making the viewer have to take a close look to see for themselves what they have in front of them. What may at first seem like a digital collage, will then reveal itself to be an acrylic painting with classical techniques.
Caterina's art inhabits the continually shifting landscape of her invented planet 'Terrapolis', a speculative reality where the biological, technological and imagined coexist. In articulating the flora and fauna of this world, her works allows the viewer to muse on a world where the environment and the inhabitants co-create and evolve together.
Each evening of the exhibition will be closed by a live music performance. For more details on the musical performances, go to the @showdontt_ll Instagram.
