Physically speaking, the heart is a muscular organ responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels
by repeated, rhythmic contractions. The figurative heart has commonly been
viewed as the seat of motivation and emotion.
At the heart
of this exhibition is art’s capacity to reveal something of our innermost
being: our most intimate thoughts and the most honest of our feelings. At
the same time the artworks on exhibition play with the sentimentalism in the
use of the shape of the heart, its decorative value and its metaphoric
qualities. The exhibition includes sculpture, paintings, photography and
digital work.
