What's Happening?
Maria Kreyn's latest exhibition, 'Hyperobject,' is being showcased at the Fitzrovia Chapel in London. The exhibition features a series of new paintings that blend fantasy and reality, curated by Maria Vega of the Ministry of Nomads Art Foundation. Kreyn's work
is known for its atmospheric and emotionally resonant compositions, which aim to transcend traditional subject matter. The centerpiece of the exhibition is an altarpiece inspired by 'hyperobjects,' entities so vast they surpass human comprehension. The exhibition continues Kreyn's exploration of sacred spaces, following her previous work at St. George's Church during the Venice Biennale.
Why It's Important?
The exhibition highlights the intersection of art, science, and activism, a focus of the Ministry of Nomads Art Foundation. By engaging with the concept of hyperobjects, Kreyn's work prompts viewers to consider the scale of human impact on the environment and the universe. The use of a religious setting for the exhibition adds a layer of historical and spiritual context, encouraging reflection on the transience of human existence. This approach not only enriches the cultural dialogue but also challenges traditional boundaries between art and science.
