NAGON Comment
I am very happy to have started my career as an artist under the name Nagon and to be able to hold a solo exhibition like this.
For this exhibition, I went back to my roots and spent a lot of time in dialogue with myself.
Instead of thinking about how my work would be perceived, I dug deeper into what I wanted to communicate.
Those who come to watch are free to take away whatever they want.
I would be happiest if I could enjoy a free dialogue with everyone through this solo exhibition.
We look forward to seeing you from August 15th to 21st.
Nagon
