This exhibition brings together works that exist in multiple time zones at once. Some pieces were started five, ten, even twenty years ago - unfinished sentences left mid-thought, ideas not yet bursting into a final form, halfway concepts that waited in storage for a moment to be continued. Now, they’ve been excavated and given new meaning, a new life through repainting, reworking, and reconsideration. Parts remain as they were, untouched relics of an earlier artistic intention. Other areas have been painted over, obscured, or built upon. The result is a collection of paintings that function as palimpsests - visible records of creative thinking across time, where past and present coexist on the same surface.

The title “Déjà Vu” captures both a psychological phenomenon and a creative methodology. Just as déjà vu creates that uncanny sensation of experiencing something simultaneously as new and familiar, these reworked paintings occupy a similar threshold - neither entirely new nor simply old. The act of recycling and upcycling one’s own artistic output mirrors the way memory itself works: we don’t simply recall the past, we reconstruct it, paint over it, reinterpret it through the lens of who we’ve become… the greys between regrets of unspoken ideas and joy of resurrection. What was once an abandoned gesture or a half-formed thought becomes raw material. A faded intention from 2005 might contain the seed of something vital or something else entirely, now in 2026.

The works span geometric abstraction, atmospheric layering, collage, and fragmented figuration, but they share a visible history. You can see where one idea trailed off and another began - where a bold mark from years ago now sits beneath a translucent wash applied last week, where interrupted rhythms find new resolution. These aren’t abandoned paintings brought back from the dead; they’re ongoing conversations between the artist and their former selves, each layer a kind of temporal echo. The exhibition becomes a creative walk through decades, spiraling back on itself like déjà vu, finding familiarity made strange and strangeness made familiar.
