Newchild is pleased to present ‘Spectre’, a group exhibition featuring works by Liang Fu, Adriaan Marin, Viktor Mattsson, Sergio Miguel, Justin Liam O’Brien, and Christopher Page. The Newchild team invites you to join them for the opening on Friday, June 27th from 18-21h in the presence of some of the artists.
Artists use materials to conjure up recipes for visions of their imagination—alchemical processes through which thought, memory, and emotion are transmuted into form. In ‘Spectre’, pigment, surface, texture, and gesture become the language through which the intangible is made visible, where the seen and the felt coalesce into image. In this way, each artwork is not simply constructed but summoned—an apparition born from the subtle interplay between material choice and psychic resonance.
Anchored by Eva Hesse’s reflection that “art is controlled and disciplined perception, creatively and imaginatively expressed,” Spectre brings together artists who move through the thresholds of perception, materiality, and the unconscious. Their works oscillate between oneiric suggestion and what Walter Benjamin called “awakened time,” drawing the viewer into a space where material, image, and thought converge—not to clarify, but to reverberate, linger, and haunt.
