IFAC Arts presents Seminal / Sentience ‘all form is a face looking at us’, an exhibition of painting, print, and collage which resonate with elements of Neo-Expressionism, Surrealism and Pop.  Using Serge Daney’s axiom ‘all “form” is a face looking at us’ as a vehicle for discussion, the viewers become part of the cinematic mise-en-scène in relation to the artworks and the exhibition spaces at The Yard.

The six artists display a distinctive and powerful visual language through intensely expressive gesture, color, and use of pictorial space challenging the viewer to reflect on their own self awareness and subjectivity. 

There is an immediacy to the works which trace themes of personal identity and form a romantic contrast between the individual and society. Resisting hierarchy the exhibition offers a new moment for expressionism and a way forward for figuration through free association without social constraint or the necessity to include emotional historical narratives. 

The artists will be available for appointments while the show is on view allowing visitors to dive deeper into a dialogue with the artists at IFAC. Goto www.ifacarts.com for full artists biographies and exhibition checklist.
