In Quest for Harmony, Collect 2023

Ruup & Form presents In Quest for Harmony at Collect International Art Fair’s 19th Edition 3rd to 5th March 2023 (Preview 1st - 2nd March) at Somerset House.

 

Ruup & Form, leading contemporary gallery based in London, focussing on material-led artists is delighted to return to Collect International Art Fair with fourteen exceptional artists, all responding to the theme of In Quest for Harmony.

 

The exhibition delves into the many facets of emotional upheavals, political and social turbulences. The artists respond with their personal sense of equilibrium, asking questions through their medium. The theme of harmony is especially relevant in today’s divided world, where perspectives and beliefs often lead to conflict and disharmony.

 

The selected artists are shaping the future of craft and art, by innovation and experimentation, pushing boundaries with material, techniques, and by incorporating new materials to create works that are both alethically striking and conceptually engaging. In Quest of Harmony is showcase of diverse collection of materials bringing together talented artists displaying their unique and innovative pieces exploring the concept of what harmony means to them.
