Galerie Ron Mandos is proud to present Tender Fury, which brings together Erwin Olaf and Kendell Geers, two iconic artists whose practices have each forged a distinctive visual language at the intersection of healing, intimacy and rage. Rooted in deeply personal histories of activism against racism, prejudice, and discrimination, the exhibition reveals connections between their lives and work, despite differences in medium and tone.
Curated through the personal perspective of their close friend and gallerist Ron Mandos, Tender Fury offers a fragile yet powerful portrait of two artists who struggled to find their voices within art systems they felt alienated from. In response, both created bodies of work that expose the political power of images. Tenderness and fury are not contradictions here, but coexisting forces: each artist believes in art as a language capable of disabling systems of oppression, control, repression and censorship.
