Allegorical Conditions

Artists: Jorden Boulet, Remus Grecu, Fabian Hübner & Tonino Mattu
Duration: December 1—February 26, 2023
Location: Viewing room

CAI and CAI Gallery are delighted to present a new group exhibition, titled Allegorical Conditions, showcasing twelve paintings by four contemporary painters; Jorden Boulet, Remus Grecu, Fabian Hübner, and Tonino Mattu.

An allegory in painting is defined as a picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning—typically morally or politically. This definition is rooted in art history, referring to the allegorical representations of virtues in ancient antiquity or the political allegories during classicism. However, in a contemporary context— particularly a post-conceptual context—this conditionality seems to shift even further, discovering new allegorical narratives and perspectives in painting today.

The exhibition runs from December 1, 2022, until February 26, 2023, in CAI Gallery’s viewing room.
