Aura Revealed
Flux \ Lab Gallery is pleased to announce Aura Reveladed, a duo exhibition by artists Miguel Soler-Roig and Clark Winter. This is Miguel's fourth exhibition with the gallery, marked by his participation in this year's Venice Biennale.
In the exhibition Aura Revealed, the two experiential stages -dream and reality- are shown through the goddess Aura as a connecting figure, symbolized in photographic images -accompanied by the veil- in its most earthly attribute. In the images we see the veil in suspension, surrounding the goddess and empowering her, preparing her access to the dimension of dreams, but making it clear that she is still in the territory of the real: this is confirmed by another photograph of the veil resting on a rock.
To speak of the transformative power of feminine values, Miguel Soler-Roig travels to Greece and uses mythology as a set of stories based on the imagination that explain the universe and activate the power of individuals. In a way, myths are an altered and pseudo oneiric version of reality. In dreams everything is possible: people acquire superhuman powers, the natural becomes supernatural, the weak becomes powerful... There is a sort of inversion of contexts and scenarios. In short, another version of the real, more exciting, exotic, magical and surprising.
