"Portraying the Universe" by Irina Gabiani

The exhibition Portraying the Universe by Irina Gabiani at Nosbaum Reding I Projects is the development of the artist’s previous project entitled Minimal - Complexity, through which the artist reinterpreted in her personal way the language of Minimalism, by unveiling the complexity hidden in the apparently solid structures and lines, in light of her cosmological view of the Universe.

The main focus of this new exhibition, Portraying the Universe., is to unveil the complexity hidden in each and every human being. Within the outline of human portraits, Gabiani reveals landscapes, or images of the Universe, bringing us back to the key concept of her research which is the interconnections between the human beings and the Universe.

In this way, Irina Gabiani emphasises the fact that human beings are an inseparable part of the Universe and at the same time, the Universe lies within humankind. Understanding this strong interconnection is essential for us to change our approach to life and to behave in a responsible way. The understanding of this indivisible interconnection is key to a peaceful coexistence amongst human beings and with the Universe.
