Unfiltered: Explorations of Life, Identity, and Boundaries by New Voices of Contemporary Art

"UNFILTERED"

Explorations of Life, Identity, and Boundaries by New Voices of Contemporary Art.

"Unfiltered" is an art show that strips away the boundaries between

the artist's inner world and their audience, offering raw, unrefined

expressions that speak to the heart of human experience. The

exhibition embraces vulnerability and authenticity, inviting viewers to

confront uncomfortable truths, untold stories, and emotional complexity.

Each piece is a window into the artist's unvarnished vision, free from

pretense or expectation. By challenging traditional norms of beauty and

presentation, "Unfiltered" asks us to reconsider what we value in art,

urging us to find meaning in imperfection, spontaneity, and the messy

beauty of real life.

From the curator, Renato Miracco -

Welcome to Spiralis Gallery and to this unique exhibition.

In a democracy, the exchange of ideas and the celebration of diverse

perspectives are fundamental. The arts offer a powerful space to

engage with others' experiences and stories. Art fosters conversation,

bridges differences, and sparks dialogue and understanding.

The artists featured in Unfiltered come from varied backgrounds and

countries, and they express their visions through diverse mediums-

from collage to photography, painting to AI-generated sculpture. Their

works reflect on how gender and identity are constructed, and how

they are performed in daily life. As we engage with these artworks, we

are invited to consider the performative nature of our own lives-

to recognize how identity is shaped and expressed every day.

How do we perform and display our identity? Often quietly -

sometimes recklessly - we construct our appearance and sense of self

in myriad ways: through what we wear, how we carry ourselves, what

we read, who we befriend, what we eat, and whom we love.

The artists in this exhibition draw attention to these subtle yet

powerful markers of identity-the traits that both connect us to larger

communities and define us as individuals. You may find reflections of

yourself in their images or connect with the emotions they evoke. By

looking more closely at ourselves, might we also better understand

those around us?

Welcome to Unfiltered. This exhibition is not only an invitation-

it is a challenge.
