‘Mono Waltz’ by Sgart (Scott Grooves)

May 19 – June 16, 2024

Immerse yourself in the multi-sensory experience of ‘Mono Waltz’, where art meets sound in a beautiful symphony of black and white. Uncover the deeper meaning behind 'Mono Walz' and its role in providing a space for reflection and decompression. We welcome you to join the exhibition as Sgart shares his insights into the complexity and harmony of light and darkness.

From the artist; "I admire the understated allure of black and its hues, yet I equally like its ability to make a strong statement on its own. Its number one strength is versatility, much like my own strength as a contemporary artist and musician." Sgart

Embark on a journey through the convergence of black and white drawings, paintings and prints. Explore the visual monochrome approach with its interplay of sound and space.
