Modern Animals Gallery presents Pilgrims, the solo exhibition by Swiss-Greek artist Angelos Merges exploring abstract narrative and liminality. The exhibition features paintings where human figures devoid of clear identities form groups or sit alone in anticipation of unknown catalysts. Merges employs the Alla Prima technique, completing each painting in a single session to maintain spontaneity. The gallery describes how "the interplay of space often assumes a significant role, sometimes surpassing the prominence of the depicted figures.
