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 Liang Fu, Justin Liam O’Brien, Adriaan Marin, Viktor Mattsson, Sergio Miguel, and Christopher Page each of whom moves 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.
