Last chance: the human psyche in Andrei Nițu's 'Garden of Lies'
08 october 2024
Until 12 October, Galerie Stigter Van Doesburg in Amsterdam presents the solo exhibition 'Garden of Lies' by Andrei Nițu. In this exhibition, the Romanian artist explores the concept of lies as a form of protection. Nițu imagines lies as a metaphorical garden where individuals — and societies and cultures on a broader scale — can shelter from their deepest fears, including the ultimate fear: the fear of death. His paintings invite the viewer to reflect on the price we pay for this distance from our own vulnerability and mortality, a distance we create ourselves through rituals, objects and myths.
