EL FUTURO, AYER, exhibition poster

EL FUTURO, AYER (THE FUTURE, YESTERDAY) sets YON's earlier work beside his present work, to look at what the future might be made of.

The visit starts at a working desk covered in crumpled paper, notes and sketches, a coffee mug, a groupie ashtray and a wine bottle, as if the artist has only just stepped away. Above it, drawings in many styles complete the installation, among them the curriculum vitae YON wrote when he moved to Berlin in 2019.

From there, five acrylic paintings, one on canvas and four on paper, lead on to a selection of digital works. The last wall belongs to artists from all around the world, each paying tribute to YON's groupies in their own way.
