In ‘Dúlà,’ Nasser Zulueta and Tom Russ come together for an exhibition that delves into the theme of play, exploring its profound impact on creativity and the human experience. Through diverse artistic expressions, the artists examine how play influences the creative process and our engagement with art.
Nasser Zulueta draws inspiration from his childhood encounters with the puzzle game ‘Tetris,’ using vibrant acrylics on square canvases to translate the game’s symbolic language into art that transcends visual aesthetics. Each piece challenges viewers to engage with the intricate relationship between form and emotion, inviting introspection on how emotions shape the perception of art. ‘Dúlà’ becomes a metaphor for navigating life’s complexities, fostering a deeper interaction between the artwork and the observer’s inherent playfulness.
Tom Russ presents an innovative exploration of traditional photography, artificial intelligence, and digital art. His collection challenges conventional art boundaries by infusing AI into the creative process, breathing new life into old works. Through visually stunning iterations, Russ prompts contemplation on the evolving role of technology in shaping artistic expression.
Together, their artworks create a space where playfulness becomes a lens to explore the complexities of our world and creative processes, making ‘Dúlà’ a profound reflection on the transformative power of play in art and life.
