THE LAST HOPE - Peter Mammes

Peter Mammes a SOLO exhibition

In the vast expanse of human history, we once lived in a world devoid of two-dimensional artwork, a realm where only the events unfolding in real time held sway. It was through the invention of visual symbols that we discovered the magic of depicting ideas and other worlds with a two-dimensional representation. This magical art form, drawing, has the power to access the depths of our unconscious minds, allowing us to find order amidst the chaos and reclaim the true essence of meaning.As an artist, I embark on a journey to rediscover this magic, to channel the spirit of our ancestors and the people who call out from the grave. I draw images that beckon me, as if guided by the hand of the divine towards an idea that is ever close but yet so far away. My drawings serve as placeholders for ideas, a form of hieroglyphic language that transcends spoken languages, and is recombined to create new poetic compositions.Through my art, I seek to create a visual language that not only transcends time and space but also resonates with beings from the distant future, or even alien civilizations. My hope is that, as a historical artifact, my work will transmit this moment in time and existence to the viewer in a simple, beautiful, and profound manner. Like a shout into the void or a beacon in the vastness of space, my art is a testament to the magic of the universe and the eternal quest for meaning.
