Gana Art is pleased to present “Moment Point”, a solo exhibition by Canadian artist, Andrew Moncrief (b. 1987), who is based in Berlin, Germany. Moncrief’s practice originates in an exploration of social themes such as queer identity, masculinity, and body idealization, gradually expanding toward metaphysical inquiry and interior sensibilities, through which he has developed a distinct visual language.
Gana Art is pleased to present “Moment Point”, a solo exhibition by Canadian artist Andrew Moncrief (b. 1987), who is based in Berlin, Germany. Moncrief’s practice originates in an exploration of social themes such as queer identity, masculinity, and body idealization, gradually expanding toward metaphysical inquiry and interior sensibilities, through which he has developed a distinct visual language. A profound period of introspection in Costa Rica in 2023 marked a decisive shift in Moncrief’s practice, prompting him to move away from earlier identity-based narratives and reorient the trajectory and focus of his work. Comprising 25 works inspired by this experience, the exhibition adopts a painterly approach that rejects representations of the body as a fixed entity, instead exploring its unconscious and invisible interior dimensions.
The exhibition title, “Moment Point”, is drawn from a concept introduced in Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts (1929–1984), which posits that all existence is created at the intersection known as the "moment point"—the ever-present now. The book suggests that time does not unfold linearly but exists instead as a single point where infinite possibilities converge vertically, functioning simultaneously as a "portal." Moncrief seeks to visualize this metaphysical notion through painting. Within his compositions, figures undergo processes of deconstruction and reassembly, appearing not as fixed entities but as layered amalgamations of temporal fragments. Moncrief’s works invite viewers to pause and attune themselves to the experience of existence in the "here and now." As the artist remarks, "I am not the person I thought I was; rather, I am becoming — in this present moment — the person I am supposed to be." This exhibition captures the dynamic and profound traces of an existence in constant flux.
