Fruits in the Night, Installation View I

Installation
2025
Installation documentation; oil on canvas, watercolour, graphite, oil pastel, and mixed works on paper.
Variable dimensions
A solo exhibition installed as a nocturnal field of colour, pattern, and transformation. Large-scale oil paintings anchor the room, while smaller works extend the rhythm of fertility, growth, and return.

“Fruits in the Night explores darkness as a generative space rather than an absence. Through layered abstraction, organic patterning, and luminous colour, the exhibition stages painting as a process of emergence: forms appear, dissolve, and return like living structures within shadow. This installation view shows the work operating across scale, from intimate studies to large chromatic fields, creating a movement between intensity, stillness, and renewal.”
