The exhibition ‘Fingertips’ is extended till January 26
Through his evocative and masterful works, Johan Tahon invites you to experience the delicate balance between nature, emotion, and the passage of time. His sculptures promise to stir deep reflection and awe, offering a unique glimpse into his artistic journey and the intricate layers of the human experience.
At the heart of Fingertips is the tactile, sensual act of sculpting—each piece molded directly by the artist’s hands, engaging in a quiet yet powerful dance between maker and medium. These works, formed from both clay and ice, bear the imprints of the artist’s fingers, leaving traces of his emotional connection to the material. The act of creation becomes an expression of feeling, an exploration of presence, vulnerability, and transformation.
