Markeidric WalkerPolina Berlin Gallery is pleased to announce Emotional Intelligence, a group exhibition opening February 22, 2022, marking the gallery’s inaugural exhibition at 165 East 64th Street.
The term “emotional intelligence” entered the collective consciousness in 1995 to describe the capacity to perceive and understand emotions and use them to steer thinking and behavior. Forgoing the systems-based, data harvesting approach to deciphering meaning, Emotional Intelligence brings together ten artists mining new tropes at the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Ebullient, poignant, and at times confounding, the works included represent a plodding forth, a pushing, and a ripening. Through the process of examining, obscuring, and revealing, heightened emotional states are leveraged to extract fresh modes of representation and probe understanding.
