The World Re-seen, Remembered, and Felt
The World Re-seen, Remembered, and Felt
The World Re-seen, Remembered, and Felt brings together three contemporary painters whose practices explore the space between observation and imagination. While their approaches differ, Katarzyna Bałdyga, Bo Zhang, and Catelijne Boele each understand painting not as a means of recording reality, but as a process through which reality is reshaped by perception, memory, and emotion.
Bałdyga constructs imagined worlds informed by literature, architectural forms, and handmade models, where material and image remain in a state of transformation. Zhang begins with the familiar, expanding everyday scenes into unfamiliar visual experiences that question how we see. Boele creates dreamlike spaces in which colour, rhythm, and motifs from nature give form to memory and feeling.
Together, these works suggest painting as a process of translation: transforming observation into imagination, memory into image, and sensation into form. They remind us that the world is never simply given; it is continually re-seen, remembered, and felt.
