This show is not only about what is there to see and observe, Grey Area represents what is there to see and yet is rarely noticed. It represents the undefined, but also what is not explicit and immediately apparent. the murky, the mysterious and yet enchanting. It challenges and defies the dichotomy of black versus white and forces the observer into a territory of shades and of all possibilities. A new style of composition, new forms of installations, a new way of interaction between the different artworks and between the artwork and the observer themselves. Installations that Accompanying the artwork will be the very special limited edition book catalogue that is in and change arrangements and shapes, interpretations and form, and that speak to the observer of itself a work of art: made in very few copies only, it has been entirely conceived and designed as the observer moves around them - this is what awaits those attending this new solo show. by the Fridriks team: graphic designer Cédric Pierre, written by Sebastian Di Giovanni, as Last but not least, and after many years of waiting, a new Stendhal Syndrome will make its corollary to the exhibition to intrigue both sight and touch.
