This exhibition focuses on periods of serene contemplation in nature, fostering opportunities for the senses and the heart to expand and encounter moments of awe.
London-based photographer, painter, and poet, Mika Hadar, integrates the objective lens of photography with the expressive strokes of a painter's brush. Their work is defined by its poetic, serene, and contemplative essence.
They view their art as 'Visual Poetry', where each medium- photography, painting, and poetry—expresses their inner landscape.
Mika explores the intimate connection between the observer and the observed through their lens. In painting, they respond to the view with their inner feelings and sensations, often blending brush and lens by painting over printed photographs, thereby recreating them with a subjective perspective.
Mika’s approach to photography and painting transcends mere documentation; it seeks to encapsulate the inherent mystery and longing in every moment. Their ultimate goal is to create an immersive experience that surpasses the visible realm, inviting others to share moments of wonder and introspection.
Come see Mika Hadar's work at Lauderdale House during the month of May (1st - 27th). The exhibition is free and doesn't require a ticket, but the gallery opening times change daily – please check on www.lauderdalehouse.org.uk or call 020 8348 8716 when planning your visit.
