CLOSING RECEPTION & ARTIST TALK

‘Uncharted’ Charles Derenne Solo Exhibition. Wonzimer Gallery is delighted to present Uncharted by Charles Derenne. The artist immerses the audience in his latest artistic exploration with a new series of jungle landscape paintings and photography collages, which serve as an invitation to explore the uncharted territories of our environmental conscience. A carefully chosen ready-made further enhances the immersive experience, prompting reflection on the delicate equilibrium between human interaction and the primal pulse of the wild. In Derenne's artistic pilgrimage, each stroke and snapshot is a journey into the heart of human contradiction—a juxtaposition from his recent expedition of the expanse of Mexican jungles against the vastness of a fictional Arctic void. His canvas becomes a living map, a subtle moment, embracing the emotional landscape of someone torn between the rhythms of colors and the pristine silence of made-up territories. In the dance between the forest's embrace and the solitude of his studio amongst the city's cacophony. Derenne's practice transcends medium, weaving an intricate narrative of the ever-elusive quest for a sanctuary, be it within the dense foliage or the silence of contemplation.
