"Training in Failure: (An Artist’s Journey from School to Art)" is a poignant and introspective exhibition that explores the transformative journey of an artist from the stifling environment of traditional schooling to the liberating and confidence-building world of art. This exhibition presents a collection of works that vividly depict the artist's personal experience of school as a place of constraint and failure, contrasting sharply with the empowerment and engagement found through artistic expression.
The central theme of the exhibition revolves around the dichotomy between the artist's early experiences in the educational system and the subsequent discovery of art as a means of self-expression and personal growth. The term "training in failure" encapsulates the artist's sense of inadequacy and suppression during school years, where rigid structures and standardized expectations stifled creativity and confidence. In stark contrast, the exhibition showcases the artist's evolution and development of self- assurance through the liberating practice of art.
