The group exhibition FACE TO FACE is an invitation to meet contemporary African and South American painters face to face, to take a closer look at the faces depicted by the artists, to recognize the cultural references, visions, and worldview hidden within them.
The FACE constantly reacts, providing hints about emotional and physical states. It is the richest tool of nonverbal communication, through which people are most often recognized and identified. That is why in many cultures around the world, faces have been modified in one way or another for centuries, used as a canvas for expression.
Masks, paints, and scarification are means to convey social status or rank, cultural identity, belonging to a specific group or community, or, conversely, to mask identity.
At the TUMO gallery exhibition FACE TO FACE, nine different artists present nine different visions of the human face and nine models of contemporary society's perception.
