About TODAY/TOMORROW
Often time is divided into planes that operate simultaneously while you either remain oblivious or rarely aware of them. And the subconscious continues to react to the movements on these planes. Today/Tomorrow, the virtual group exhibition of six artists, namely Daniel Meakin, William Brown, Nicholas Sims, Zifeng Zang, Nuria Gonzalez Alcaide, and Glenn Badham, reverberates with those movements which are in between the immediate past as well as present—Today and Tomorrow.
Today/ Tomorrow weaves a story in time through the visual language that operates in surrealism and abstract expressionism to develop an altogether new set of parameters of dialogue and partake. From being made, remade, subverted, repressed, re-emerged and merging with the ephemeral of the material, this language dwindles between what happened, is happening, and is about to happen. And during this course, the curated set provides a newer depth in the conscience of the self, honing the subtle capacities within.
While Daniel Meakin, Nicholas Sims and Glenn Badham pose the real into surreal and vice versa, the dissolution of the real in the abstract by
Nuria Gonzalez Alcaide, William Brown and Zifeng Zang stitch a distinct and wholesome narrative.
But is the abstract totally devoid of reality? Or is it a heightened awareness of being in the becoming of reality as essence?
Or are these planes of colour, oblivious and aware at the same time, letting us enter into new realms of identity?
“On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.”

Graduated from Sir JJ School of Art, Mumbai, she is presently researching on site-specific art, questioning the artistic autonomy. At the same time, she is interested in the meme-making process, which, she believes, is slowly becoming a significant part of formal representation.
