“Tropikal Brutalism”

In Tropikal Brutalism artist Archie Geotina invites the audience on a transformative journey of self-discovery and contemplation. Through a thought-provoking exploration of power dynamics and submission, Geotina challenges conventional notions of control and dominance. By drawing inspiration from the ancient art of shibari and merging it with the principles of stoicism, the artist delves into the liberating power of embracing submission as a path to freedom and peace.

Central to the exhibition’s theme is the concept that personal joy and finding nirvana are intertwined. Geotina prompts us to consider if, beyond being kind to one another, true purpose lies in discovering personal joy. As viewers navigate the exhibition, they are encouraged to ponder how one’s character is defined by how they handle adversity. The artist gently encourages introspection, reminding us that embracing submission as a choice can be empowering.

Through the evocative blend of shibari, stoicism, and artistic expression, Geotina invites us to embrace the power of letting go and finding peace within ourselves.

This exhibition is a timely reminder of the importance of acknowledging what we can change and what we cannot, as we navigate the complexities of our world’s challenges.

By embracing submission, we find true liberation and strength.
