Megaliths Vol. I & II — The Architecture of Healing
Megaliths is a journey into the architecture of inner landscapes ,the scars, storms, silences, and fragile reconciliations that shape the human condition. Through a monumental series of large-scale acrylic works, the exhibition charts a passage from chaos to clarity, from fragmentation to fragile wholeness.
Executed primarily in the grisaille technique, a method of painting in shades of black, gray, and white, the works achieve a sculptural presence on canvas. Grisaille, from the French gris (“gray”), was historically used by Renaissance artists to mimic the weight of stone and the drama of light and shadow. Here, it becomes a contemporary language for stripping the image to its emotional core, removing the distraction of color so that form, texture, and depth speak with raw intensity.
Each canvas carries the weight of excavation:
The Order of Disorder and An Archaeology of Chaos uncover the strange, inevitable logic of scars and the ruins of the self.
The Storm Before the Calm and Where the Storm Settles embrace turbulence as a crucible for transformation, exposing the violence and vulnerability of becoming.
In Grace and Grit, endurance is not quiet survival but a visible residue, the proof that beauty can be forged from fracture.
Introspection, Immersion, and Ambiguity invite viewers into a quieter aftermath, where peace and chaos dissolve into questions rather than answers.
Together, these works form more than an exhibition: they are a map of emotional geology, megaliths standing as monuments to resilience and healing. Their scale commands the body, while the restrained grisaille palette holds the gaze in a space between stillness and noise.
Megaliths is not about resolution but recognition , that within the wreckage lies the possibility of shape, and within the ambiguity, the human form of healing.
