Friday 25 October 2024 from 5pm to 9pm

Tidings From Arcadia, the much-anticipated solo exhibition by Sacha Pola, invites you to a profound exploration of landscapes and figurative compositions that navigate the complex interplay between utopia and dystopia.

This exhibition delves into art historical narratives, invoking the sublime landscape while reinterpreting post-colonial depictions through a lens of modern sensibility.

Deities and ethereal beings inhabit dark, moody, and sensual backdrops, weaving a tapestry of symbolism and romanticism that reconnects us with a sense of the divine—albeit within Pola's own distinctive universe. The figures glow from within and without, standing in contrast to their shadowy surroundings, embodying the tension between reverence and scrutiny.

Join us in experiencing a transformative exhibition that challenges the boundaries of art, history, and spirituality as we contemplate the resilience of humanity in the face of uncertainty.

Opening night - Friday the 25th of October 5 - 9pm

Trading between 11am - 7pm from Friday the 25th to Tuesday the 29th of October.

Attendance is FREE, but registration is essential.
