David Syre: Envisioning A Better Future
July 21 – December 18, 2020
In Vita Activa and the Human Condition, Hannah Arendt wrote, “Men, not Man, live on the earth and inhabit the world,” meaning the plurality of things represents not an aspect but a condition. This plurality is the law of our existence, and Syre’s new works aim to explore and unveil it.
David Syre made use of the forced quarantine to read, study, watch, and make art, always investigating his preferred topics: spirituality, ancient wisdom, and personal evolution.

“The exhibition David Syre: Envisioning A Better Future will showcase +60 new paintings and drawings offering this plural vision of a new world to come. A Culminating aspect of this project will be its participatory nature: every visitor will be invited to comment on one (or more) works, to share their impressions and dreams, on a sticky note which will be collected on a public canvas at the entrance of the gallery with the intention to create, by the end of this exhibition, a collective vision board for a better future.”
