Where Meanings Collide: A Conversation on Abstraction brings together artists Olga Tobreluts and Ivan Plusch in a dynamic visual dialogue about how we see—and unsee—the world. Moving between painting and digital animation, the exhibition explores the fragile line between recognition and non-recognition, reality and virtual experience.

Drawing on a century of abstract art while speaking directly to today’s media-saturated lives, the artists trade forms, colours, and motifs across canvases and screens. Figures dissolve into pure movement, colour fields flicker with “informational traces,” and black appears as both void and portal, marking moments where time, memory, and meaning seem to reset.

Rather than offering a single viewpoint, Where Meanings Collide invites visitors into an open-ended conversation. Each work becomes a site of negotiation between the artists’ distinct visions and the viewer’s own perceptions, asking: When do we truly recognize an image—and when are we simply filling in the gaps?
