The exhibition “Electric Lights” by KURAR will soon open to the public. For several years, the artist has stood out with his unique style, characterized in particular by the use of shades of gray contrasted with powerful colors in his subjects. With this new exhibition, KURAR continues to explore this aesthetic while expanding the scope of his concerns to offer the public an unforgettable visual and sensory experience.
At the heart of the “Electric Lights” exhibition, we find KURAR’s fascination with the light signs that marked the history of advertising and urbanism in the 1930s to 1950s. By combining these neon lights with more contemporary scenes, the artist creates a dreamlike and fascinating atmosphere. The bright colors and shimmering lights of his canvases are promises of better days, invitations to contemplation and reflection.
But the “Electric Lights” exhibition is not limited to aesthetics. KURAR wanted to give a more engaged dimension to his paintings by addressing important social and environmental themes. Thus, his works invite us to reflect on our relationship with nature, on the climate changes that are disrupting our world, and on the human condition in a changing world. It is a true introspection, a lucid look at our time, that takes place through the artist’s canvases.
KURAR uses light as a vector of communication, as a means of conveying a strong and universal message. The light signs that run through his canvases are symbols, elements of language that speak to us about the urgency of taking care of our planet, the need to protect the most vulnerable, the beauty and fragility of life. A true visual poetry emerges from his paintings, a poetry that speaks to our soul and conscience.
But KURAR does not just denounce the ills of our society. He also invites us to rediscover our childhood, hope and freedom. Through his visual compositions, the artist transports us into a poetic and dreamlike universe, where light seems to carry a certain form of optimism. Neon lights then become stars, fairies, fireflies, flashes of life that illuminate our daily life and imagination. It is an invitation to contemplation, wonder, and rediscovering the simple and true beauty of our world.
In summary, KURAR’s “Electric Lights” exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover the artist’s new creations and to immerse oneself in a fascinating and profound visual universe. Through his paintings, KURAR invites us to reflect on our era.
