«Ope! «is an exhibition dedicated to the young American artist Jon Duff.

This New York-based artist is proud of his Midwestern origins, which explains the use of the word «ope» for the title of his exhibition, a local expression used to inform a person about what they have just experienced or suffered. This is an irony itself because there is no need to warn someone about something that has already happened.

 

Jon Duff perfectly illustrates in his work the «sweet madness» that surrounds us, this society full of contradictions and absurdities.

Humour and pictorial expression are part of the spiritual heritage of an artist like Peter Saul.
