GR gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition Graphic Serendipity, featuring the artworks of Adam Lister, Gavin Lynch, and Jiri Mayer. The title takes inspiration from the historical exhibition Cybernetic Serendipity (London, 1968) alongside the artists paintings in the digital generation. As the historical exhibition is focused on the mechanical sense as a new manner in art, GR gallery seeks to explore how digital sensibilities are integrated into contemporary painting through theunique perspectives of the three artists.
As our daily lives become increasingly intertwined with technology, contemporary visual observations are shifting toward digitization. The exhibition Graphic Serendipity presents 15 paintingsthat explore this evolving relationship, resembling low-resolution digital screens or glitches capturedin computer programs. Yet what visitors encounter are Digital Code-scapes – a new graphical style ofpainting that merges the originality of art with the precision of high-resolution physical quality. These Code-scapes feature delicate, expressive works by Gavin Lynch, minimalist approaches byAdam Lister, and Jiri Mayer's nostalgic tributes to early computer programs like MS Paint.
Much like the groundbreaking Cybernetic Serendipity once redefined interactions with machinesensibilities, GR gallery introduces a bold transition in contemporary painting. Through a digitizedlens, this show transcends mere representations of computer screens, offering fresh perspectives onhow we perceive and interact with the digital world.
