METAMORPHOSIS OF VISION Kenneth Blom

METAMORPHOSIS OF VISION

In a rapidly evolving world, the concept of metamorphosis has become central to the exploration of identity and perception. In his latest series, Metamorphosis of Vision, Kenneth Blom examines contemporary identity and its ties to the past—whether distant or recent. These reflections manifest in works that serve as abstract, though not distorting, mirrors of society. Blom captures the essence of architectural forms within our landscape, often overlooked by the inattentive gaze, transforming them into a profound visual language that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries.

Blom's paintings explore the interplay between architectural archetypes and the presence of the Self. The inclusion of shadows and indistinct human figures introduces the idea of a universal human archetype—shared behavioural, emotional, and thought patterns deeply embedded within the collective unconscious. These archetypes encapsulate life’s core experiences and the narrative frameworks that connect different cultures, eras, and contexts.
