DIGITAL EMBRACING (Modification & Fragmentation Towards A New Wholeness) by Kelyne Reis

The Jung Center of Houston presents DIGITAL EMBRACING (Modification & Fragmentation Towards A New Wholeness) by Kelyne Reis. On view December 1-20, 2016 | Opening reception December 3, 2016, 5-7 pm | Lecture December 8, 7-8 pm.

Digital Embracing deals with constant metamorphoses and transformation by studying the relationship between computer art and the use of the hand, microcosm and macrocosm, fragments and unity (the whole), figuration and abstraction. What appears simple is in fact complex and multi-layered.

Through digital modification and by hand, Reis zooms in and out on a singular image – the fingers of two hands uniting in an embrace –  creating visual puzzles that encourage viewers to move across a continuum of perspectives.

This work process and the resulting series of paintings can be used as tools to help viewers examine both the personal and collective unconscious. An interesting, and unique approach of Digital art.

Join us also for free lecture with art history professor Anna Tahinci, as she uses Jungian psychology to examine Reis’ series of paintings, Thursday, December 8, 7-8 pm.
