A collective exhibition exploring materiality, form, and resilience in alignment with International Women’s Day 2025.
Presented in recognition of International Women’s Day and its 2025 theme, 'Accelerate Action’, ‘Eclipse' brings together artists working across metal and ceramic sculpture, abstract painting, and landscape painting. United by an exploration of materiality, process, and form, each artist contributes to a shared vision of resilience, grace, and quiet power.
At its core, ‘Eclipse' reimagines the Brutalist ethos through a lens that embraces raw materiality, geometric clarity, and unembellished beauty as a means of asserting presence and purpose. Just as Brutalism champions the integrity of materials, this exhibition highlights the integrity of artistic process and form, drawing attention to the intersections of strength and subtlety, force and finesse.
The subdued neutral tones and refined surfaces that define these works may appear restrained at first glance, yet they hold within them an undeniable momentum - shifts in texture, depth, and structure that symbolise transformation. Metal sculptures harness light and shadow to turn industrial materials into poetic expressions of resilience. Ceramic works embrace tactility and imperfection, grounding this exploration in the raw essence of the earth. Abstract paintings layer muted tones to suggest movement and fluidity, while landscape paintings extend this dialogue by blending geometry with natural environments, embodying a sense of balance and alignment.
This interplay of fragility and strength, softened contrasts, and deliberate form invites contemplation of a larger movement- one that calls for transformation and the power of creative intent. As the IWD 2025 campaign highlights, at the current rate of progress, full gender parity remains generations away. ‘Eclipse' reflects the urgency of this moment, embodying both quiet persistence and bold assertion in the pursuit of progress.
Through material, form, and concept, ‘Eclipse' stands as a testament to the depth of artistic vision and its capacity to shape the future. It is a meditation on alignment - not as a passive state, but as an active pursuit - echoing the call to accelerate action with intention, creativity, and purpose.
Like an eclipse, this exhibition is a moment of alignment - where strength and subtlety converge, and transformation is set into motion. It reminds us that change, much like celestial cycles, is both inevitable and shaped by the forces that persist in its pursuit.
