Under the Skin: Visualizing Emotions

Student of the art management group of Nata Buachidze’s Studio is hosting an online exhibition titled Under the Skin: Visualizing Emotions. What does a single emotion look like—when it's no longer hidden, but fully exposed?

This exhibition invites artists to choose one core emotion—such as joy, fear, anger, love, loneliness, or hope, etc—and express it through the mediums of Painting, drawing, graphic design, digital art, print, collage, Illustration, mixed media, photography.

We encourage artists to peel back the surface and dive into the raw, unfiltered experience of emotion. Through form, texture, light, and atmosphere, participants are asked to visualize how a single feeling lives and breathes under the skin.

Call for Curatorial Proposals

Descanso Gardens invites curators, artists, collectives, cultural producers, and thinkers of all kinds to submit preliminary curatorial proposals on the theme of water. We are looking for exhibitions and cultural programs that are inspired by careful study of water history, policy, culture, science, and art. Water is the lifeblood of Descanso Gardens. It is reflected in our future planning, wellness practices, and storytelling. Locally and around the world, water is a symbol of wellness and abundance, but also scarcity and disruption. What is the past, present, and future of water? How can we celebrate water? What can we learn from other cultures, both indigenous and around the world? How does it connect us and protect us, and how do we shape and protect it?
