the group exhibition
“from white to black and back”
Opening
Saturday, May|17
12am – 3pm
The exhibition “from white to black and back” brings together a group of artists united by a shared visual language: the deliberate use of black, white, and shades of grey. Within this pared-down palette unfolds a surprising breadth of expression — from stark abstraction to nuanced figuration.
Focusing on form, light, structure, and depth, the works reveal how the absence of color can become a powerful means of artistic articulation. The show invites viewers to experience the emotional and visual intensity that arises when color is stripped away — and to rediscover the expressive force of black and white.

Inauguración
Sábado, 17 de mayo
12am – 15pm
La exposición “from white to black and back” reúne a un grupo de artistas unidos por un lenguaje visual compartido: el uso deliberado de negro, blanco y tonalidades de gris. Dentro de esta paleta reducida se despliega una sorprendente amplitud de expresión — desde la abstracción contundente hasta la figuración matizada.
Centrándose en la forma, la luz, la estructura y la profundidad, las obras revelan cómo la ausencia de color puede convertirse en un poderoso medio de articulación artística. La muestra invita a los espectadores a experimentar la intensidad emocional y visual que surge cuando el color se elimina — y a redescubrir la fuerza expresiva del blanco y negro.

a66Gallery is pleased to present the duo exhibition Moonage Daydream, featuring works by Paris Giachoustidis and Philip Grözinger, with a text by Domenico de Chirico.
The exhibition title, Moonage Daydream, is borrowed from the eponymous song by David Bowie, included in the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972). The exhibition presents itself as a liberated, imaginative, and dance-like conglomerate of theatrical spontaneity, creative autonomy, eclecticism, subjectivity, and dreamscapes—a continuous oscillation between reality and imagination, the Apollonian and the Dionysian.
More precisely, the word moonage could allude to a “lunar era,” while daydream refers to a waking dream, an illusion, or a fantasy. In this way, the tangible realm of the moon and that of a purely imaginary reality intertwine inseparably, generating a unique stage. The result is an homage to the moon itself—here understood in the manner of American writer Walt Whitman, who, in his poetry collection Leaves of Grass (1855), describes it as a comforting, friendly element, a symbol of a return to the simplicity and purity of childhood. Yet a quiet melancholy remains, whispering:
“And the moon comes up with a smile on her face / And the smile of the moon is so sweet / That I forget that my soul is full of a yearning, / That I forget that I am no longer a child, / And that my dreams of youth have gone away.”
This journey into the unconscious, through the paintings of Paris Giachoustidis and Philip Grözinger, guides us into visual and conceptual territories where dream and reality overlap. The exhibition invites viewers to immerse themselves in a fluid universe full of possibilities—a world that is simultaneously dreamlike and cosmic, where the rigid laws of physics, perspective, and logic dissolve, making way for an intense and transformative sensory experience, at times excessive, at others childlike.
On one hand, the paintings of Paris Giachoustidis (born in 1990 in Serres, Greece, lives and works in Berlin) materialize semiotics, technological culture, and historical testimony, presenting themselves as ever-changing mental landscapes. Here, human figures and natural elements merge in a harmony of ambiguity and transformation. His painting reflects an inner world poised between aspiration and reality—a realm where perception and imagination are free to contract and expand without limitation. The use of vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and alluring scenarios consciously opposes the rigidity of conventional habits and the pantomime of supposed capitalist freedom, powerfully exploring alienation from existence. The result is a cohesive sensation, an uninterrupted flow where change becomes a constant—an eternal becoming that is visible in every moment.
On the other hand, Philip Grözinger (born in 1972 in Braunschweig, Germany, lives and works in Berlin) offers an equally enigmatic and intriguing vision, where the figurative blends with surrealism, and the everyday landscape is subtly distorted, questioning perception. Through auroral brushstrokes, his works invite reflection on the impossibility of grasping reality in a definitive manner, celebrating the fluidity of forms, the mutability of images, and their meanings. Between form and sentiment, solitude and noise, vibrant colors and an unsettling aura, Grözinger’s imaginary world comes to life. He consciously employs oil, acrylic, pastels, and spray paint, creating an aesthetic that simultaneously draws from surrealism, expressionism, and romanticism. His works go beyond surface appearance, exploring the fragility of the human condition and the evocative potential of light and shadow play, transforming the ordinary into poetic and deeply relevant metaphors. In this new series of paintings, the artist, embracing even the notion of vanitas, focuses on floral and landscape themes, nurturing a profound interest in these elements as they symbolize transience and ephemerality.
Moonage Daydream thus becomes a field of exploration for the multiple dimensions of human experience. Despite their distinct painterly languages, both artists invite us on an intellectual journey where every element can transform, be reinterpreted, and reconsidered. Their works are not mere pictorial representations but true gateways to alternative worlds, where the visible merges with the invisible, and viewers are called to actively participate, guided by curiosity about the unknown.
This exhibition does not merely showcase images but creates an immersive experience—a true daydream that invites us to reflect on our relationship with reality, its nuances, and its transformations. Here, the boundary between the possible and the impossible becomes increasingly fluid, and imagination emerges as the key to new and surprising horizons.
Despite the explosion of vivid colors that capture attention and instill an innate sense of vitality, Moonage Daydream ultimately serves as an invitation to look beyond the discernible and surrender to a sensory experience that transcends the self-satisfied here and now.
With a restless rhythm of fragility and a longing for love, aware of the fleeting nature of life, beauty, and time, all these flowers, slowly closing, can finally allow themselves to be kissed with intensity by the lofty, enigmatic, and silvery moon.

Mallorca has become a refuge for those creatives seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of major art metropolises and find inspiration in tranquility. The island invites you to slow your pulse and open your mind to the beauty of simple things. Here, the concept of Slow Living becomes tangible: mindfulness, harmony, and the joy of those small, often overlooked moments of life.
In this unique environment, a creative community has blossomed that celebrates authenticity, sustainability, and a deep connection to nature. Their art is a symbiosis of deceleration and empathy, imbued with respect for humanity, animals, and the environment. It combines zest for life with contemplation and opens up unusual perspectives on what is essential.
The works of these artists speak of love, empathy, forgiveness, and self-reflection – themes that touch the heart and invite the viewer to pause. Personal experiences and collective challenges intertwine in artistic expressions that are both moving and encourage dialogue.
The exhibition “SLOW” – International Artists from Mallorca captures this special philosophy. Its meditative aesthetics and profound themes create a space where art and life resonate in harmony.
