Featuring 40 artists, this exploration highlights 40 different modes of pictorial expression. Through captivating images, it showcases the diverse possibilities of a language that, instead of adhering to traditional patterns, pushes boundaries by composing, articulating, and blending various disciplines before ultimately returning to its form in a redefined way.
