On Paper is an online exhibition that delves into the multifaceted interpretations and inventive capacities inherent in the medium of paper. Focused primarily on works executed on paper, encompassing prints, illustrations, and drawings, the exhibition serves as a platform for artists who challenge conventional conceptions of this medium and its potentialities. Ranging from commonplace materials to innovative processes, the showcased artworks illuminate the depth and adaptability of paper as both a material substance and a thematic focus. lifted the status of works on paper – drawings, pastels, watercolours, temperas, gouaches – from something preparatory that you left in a studio, to artworks in their own right.

The exhibition curates a discerning array of works by artists who employ paper in unorthodox manners, engaging with themes such as temporality, memory, fragility, and resilience. Through diverse artistic techniques including drawing, collage, sculpture, printing, and installation, these artists transcend conventional boundaries, prompting viewers to reevaluate the intrinsic characteristics and cultural implications of paper.
