Faces of uncertain time

“The self-portraits of Mikel Temo are realized in one of the most unusual periods, that of the pandemic, of the crisis, of all the cracks experienced by humanity. They can be read as a hint, as a metaphor of running away from the isolation, loneliness, nightmare, from all the crises modern man experiences.

OAS2022

War. Pandemic. Climate change. Inflation. At the core of our time there is crisis. And in the midst of this crisis there are countries, cities and villages. There are people. There are swimming pools. There is space. There is care. There is love. There is art. There is a free world. There is a city called Tirana. A Gallery called Gallery70.

Under the skin

In this perspective the “abstract” is real, it is part of our body, of the creation, before it is what we know: the opposite of concrete or figurative. What we label as abstract, even in art, proves that we do not know the essence of that thing, as what we call “coincidence” proves our nescience about the cause.
