"So what am I looking at?"

 

The latest exhibition from the Beyond The Image Gallery collective doesn’t just invite you to look; it dares you to see.

 

Entitled "So what am I looking at?", this showcase is a refreshing, slightly cheeky nod to the internal monologue we’ve all had when standing before a piece of contemporary art.

Rather than providing easy answers, the featured artists have leaned into the ambiguity of the visual experience, creating a space where the viewer’s perspective is just as vital as the creator’s intent.

 

In an era of instant gratification and AI-generated clarity, "So what am I looking at?" celebrates the beauty of the unknown. It rewards the "slow look"—the act of standing still until the initial confusion gives way to a personal resonance.

 

"We wanted to bridge the gap between the artist’s 'why' and the viewer's 'what.' This show is about the magic that happens in the middle."
