03. Vik Muniz: Surfaces

This exhibition showcases new pieces from Vik Muniz’s latest ‘Surfaces’ series, which investigates perception, reality, representation, and materiality. After extensively researching iconic Cubist and 20th century works by masters like Picasso, Gris, Cézanne, Léger, and Morandi, Muniz employs a hybrid technique. He photographs handcrafted 3D painting and collage components, then reprocesses them into photographic collages. This innovative approach reimagines recognizable masterpieces through Muniz’s contemporary lens. ‘Surfaces’ offers viewers a fresh perspective on art history using Muniz’s signature multimedia methods.
