GO BLIND ERA

Go Blind Era
by Daniel Borg
Opening on 13th October 7.30pm

An exhibition of profound paintings that beckon you to explore the depths of contradictory meanings within the human experience.
At first glance, the notion of contradictory meanings coexisting within the same space may appear perplexing. However, as we delve deeper into the intricate tapestry of the human psyche, we come to realize that the coalescence of seemingly opposing ideas is not only
plausible but an inescapable facet of human expression and comprehension.
In an era marked by unprecedented upheaval and uncertainty, humanity often seeks solace and solidarity among like-minded individuals, inadvertently nurturing one-sided belief systems within the echo chambers of the internet. This organic shift compels us to shun the duality that defines us, gravitating instead toward rigid convictions in a quest for belonging within the anonymity of a seemingly detached world.
Borg’s art offers a window into various contemporary vignettes, akin to fragments of a film collage — a mesmerizing dreamscape where moments, both significant and mundane, intertwine seamlessly. Within these vivid visuals, Borg deftly navigates the multifaceted themes of mortality, childhood, desire, relationships, and fear. These themes evoke contradictory emotions that wax and wane with time and circumstance, mirroring the complexity of the human psyche.
“Daniel Borg” morphs into the anagram “Go Blind Era”, serving as a catalyst for dialogue, and encouraging us to acknowledge and embrace opposing ideas, which, like harmonious notes in a symphony, coexist within us and the world at large. It is a compelling reminder that this duality is an essential and intrinsic part of our human reality — a profound exploration of the human soul that encourages us to keep our eyes wide open, for going blind is simply not an option.
