This gallery will exhibit Psyche-Centric art that comes from dreams, visions, premonitions of a man. The visual language tries to find expressions in the forms of metaphors and metonymies to translate it into a verbal/written structure. The adult man preoccupied with societal norms and its structure, order, form and shape, finds unlimited pleasure (plasir) in slipping back once more into what the French Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan calls the Imaginary state of the Pre-Oedipal. Its pure unconscious realm of the plenitude where colours, signs, marks belong to a pre-linguistic stage trying to conform its identity through a passage of transition into the Symbolic state of Identity and the Law of the Father.
