Space between colors | Opening show
1 July – 22 August 2022

The inaugural exhibition of A2 Gallery, Space between colors, marked the beginning of a new space dedicated to contemporary abstraction and material exploration. The show opened with a strong emphasis on color and rhythm, bringing together a range of artistic approaches that expand the expressive potential of surface, gesture, and texture.

At the center of the exhibition was the work of Natalia Awenius, whose practice forms a foundation for the gallery’s visual identity. Her layered paintings, often based on slow, gestural repetition, offer fields of color that vibrate with meditative intensity. Across large and mid-scale canvases, Awenius explores the threshold between movement and stillness, using palette knives and brushes to build finely modulated surfaces that hover between order and dissolution.

The exhibition also featured contributions from several guest artists working with diverse interpretations of abstraction — from microstructural grids to full-body expressionist gestures. Together, their works formed a dialogue across techniques: dripping, glazing, scraping, and pulsing rhythm. This first exhibition was not only a celebration of opening but also an invitation — to look closely, to slow down, and to consider how color lives not only in tone, but in space, friction, and distance.

The gallery opened with a weekend of events and informal gatherings, setting the tone for an artist-centered, process-aware curatorial practice. Space between colors remained on view for two and a half months, introducing the public to the gallery’s vision — both grounded and open-ended, committed to experimentation and resonance.
