Ted Pim’s newest exhibition, Loinnir, is the incarnation of his relentless experiments with mild and cultural symbols. Loinnir is an Irish phrase that means radiance, gleam, or shimmer. It symbolizes enlightenment not solely in optical or bodily sense but additionally within the metaphysical and intangible senses. Drawing on this Irish heritage, Pim’s present apply appropriates classical motifs and Outdated Masters’ imagery by repetition, cropping, and radical recontextualization, reworking the acquainted into the uncanny. By doing so, Pim’s works are stripped of authentic narratives and resist narrative closure. Loinnir turns into a reimagined and reanimated hallucinatory area.
