Plato is pleased to present Soft Horizons, a solo exhibition of Canadian artist Erik Nieminen featuring his latest paintings and drawings. Civilizations rise and fall, nature reclaims what was built and, from the ruins, new structures emerge. Soft Horizons is an exploration of this eternal loop – where myth, technology and entropy converge in a meditation on power and identity. Drawing inspiration from classical mythology, historical narratives and the digital age, Soft Horizons invites the viewers to reflect on the impermanence of power and the resilience of nature. In an era where history is rewritten in real time, these paintings serve as artifacts of both a distant past and a speculative future. What remains when structures collapse? What new forms emerge from the ruins? The answers lie in the tension between decay and renewal, order and entropy, illusion and reality.
