The Psychology of Beauty: Unveiling Layers

Curator's Statement

The Psychology of Beauty: Unveiling Layers is an exploration of aesthetics through the captivating works of The Art Struck Soul. It delves into the complexities of human perception, particularly the interplay between visual stimuli and our emotional response to it. Stepping into this exhibition is akin to diving into a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours. The artist utilises a bold palette, with each hue meticulously chosen to evoke specific feelings. Each piece is a meticulously layered composition. Underlying the surface of the bold colours lie subtle details, patterns, and textures that emerge upon closer inspection. This layering mimics the way we perceive beauty – rarely a singular, immediate recognition, but an uncovering of hidden complexities. This multi-layered approach flirts with the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia, where our brains perceive familiar shapes or objects within random stimuli. As we navigate the artworks, we might find ourselves discovering figures, symbols, or even landscapes emerging from the abstract forms. This playful dance between the intended and the perceived adds another layer of intrigue to the exhibition. "The Psychology of Beauty" challenges us to move beyond the surface, to delve into the layers of perception and appreciation that truly define our understanding of beauty.
