A curation by Reka Kaloczy, Curator · Creative Consultant & Producer · Artist Mentor & Manager at - Drawing on the imagery of the Harlequin and his companions, the artworks reveal figures shaped by costume, gesture, and theatrical imagination. Across a range of styles, these characters appear in patterned outfits, expressive poses, and moments that hover between performance and introspection. Some artworks echo traditional commedia dell'arte motifs, while others reinterpret these performers through contemporary color, abstraction, or symbolic storytelling. Together, they explore the emotional spectrum behind the painted face, where humor, vulnerability, playfulness, and quiet reflection coexist. The collection highlights how the Harlequin and related figures continue to inspire artists as enduring emblems of creativity, disguise, and human expression.
