From August 8 to September 5, 2020, Independent & Image Art Space presents the group exhibition “The World Is Flat”. Nine artists worldwide respond to the theme of "the world is flat", expressing their ideas with the works of art and expecting to inspire more people to think. In 2005, Thomas L. Friedman's best-selling book, "The World Is Flat" made the term "globalization" a household name. The fast and convenient communication network, air transportation, and trade exchanges that human society has today are more closely connected with people living in different countries and regions than ever before. However, the interconnected, "flat" world has also exacerbated humankind's challenges, such as global climate change and environmental issues.

Entwined Roots, Symbiotic Relationships
“The title of this exhibition refers to the dynamic relationship between two artists: Aline Mare and Gary Brewer. They are both working artists, whose interactions of ideas as well as the support and criticism that they give each other, has helped to shape and direct their distinctive approaches and techniques.
Over the almost 25 years of their marriage, it has been a fruitful dialogue. It is a fluid, porous interchange; each responding to the work being made. Sometimes a suggestion or an insightful criticism can be a perfectly placed thought that is welcomed into the mix. Other times, it can ignite a stormy reaction- a sense of intrusion into this most personal of endeavors: self-expression.
Their shared love of nature, and the hundreds of trips made camping and hiking in the mountains, deserts and beaches of California have been a seedbed of inspiration and has directly shaped the content of their nature-based aesthetic. They continuously share an appetite and curiosity for cultural dialogue that includes film, music, architecture and literature, an ever-expanding language that feeds their creative process.
Their art expresses our spiritual connection to the vast sea of intricate relationships that have made this world our home. It is also a reminder to hold these gifts with reverence, as our thoughtless actions can destroy this delicate balance that gives us life.”
‘An erotics of painting permeates both their work: the pleasures of sheer beauty expressed in seductive veils of rich color, sensuous lines and organic forms infused with sexual and procreative innuendo. Their unapologetic embrace of beauty in the face of cultural cynicism and sublime threats of annihilation indicates the divine power of Venus and Mars are in constant play.’-
