Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.
– Paul Klee, 1920
Taking its title from a quote by Paul Klee, One eye sees the other feels, is an exhibition that considers painting as a multi-sensory practice in which feeling is as central to artistic creation as seeing. Bringing together contemporary and historical works, the exhibition examines how artists have used mediumistic, psychic, and visionary approaches, including automatism, trance and meditation, to access forms of knowledge beyond ordinary perception.
At a time marked by technological saturation, ecological uncertainty, and renewed spiritual searching, the exhibition reconsiders visionary and mediumistic art as a vital and continuing aspect of contemporary practice rather than a historical anomaly.
A common thread runs through the art exhibited with Vivienne Roberts Projects: poetic imagery – something these artists seem to share with Paul Klee. It is art that is timeless, poetic and personal, characterised by a strong line, whimsical and impish humour, a dialogue with nature, organic or biomorphic imagery, sensitivity to colour gradation, a meditative quality, and a developed independence from realism.
Co-curators Vivienne Roberts and Vivienne Roberts share more than a name. Developed through ongoing conversations over the past year, the exhibition emerged from a shared fascination with artists whose practices are guided by intuition, sensitivity, and attunement to unseen emanations, alongside a deep respect for their command of material and the painting process.
