Raw Emotion
'Raw Emotion' asks us to feel before we understand, to react before we reflect. It is an encounter with instinct—immediate, visceral, and unfiltered.
Gathering nearly thirty works, the exhibition brings together artists not through style or movement, but through urgency: a shared impulse to make emotion visible, tangible, and undeniable.
Featuring works by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Jean Dubuffet, Hans Hartung, Antoni Tàpies, Pierre Soulages, Karel Appel, Kazuo Shiraga, Antonio Saura, Sam Francis, John Chamberlain, Hermann Nitsch, Keith Haring, Georg Baselitz, Manolo Valdés, Fabienne Verdier, Pieter Obels, Anselm Reyle, and Andy Denzler, Raw Emotion spans generations and geographies, yet speaks in a single, uncompromising voice.
Each work opens a different path into feeling—through colour, silence, gesture, material, or line. These are not representations of emotion, but its raw imprint—traces of an inner state revealed in the urgency of a brushstroke, the weight of a gesture, or the tension held within a composition.
'Raw Emotion' is not a subject. It is a state—a refusal to mediate, rationalise, or soften. These works do not describe emotion. They transmit it—immediate, unfiltered, and profoundly human.
