RYAN LEE Gallery is pleased to present Victory Over the Sun, inspired by the 1913 Futurist opera "Victory Over the Sun" in which Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square debuted. The black square represented a repudiation of all past images in order to start anew to forge a utopian vision and society.
In a time when we have become enslaved to images fed to us via the digital infrastructures that dictate how and what we consume visually, this exhibition celebrates contemporary works that rebel against the generation of images created to serve the endless demand for content. It will feature a selection of work in a variety of mediums by contemporary artists exploring ideas of negation, interpretation, voids, spirituality, physicality, and impermanence, all of which refuse to be captured as an image.
