The Amsterdam gallery's recent group show "Make Me See" brought together six contemporary artists whose work interrogates the expressive possibilities of light.

Light—its myriad sources and manifestations—has been a perennial source of inspiration for artists over centuries regardless of time or place, medium, or genre. While light and its representation are a keystone of art history, it is no less prevalent amongst contemporary artists, which was the core focus of the exhibition “Make Me See” at Amsterdam-based Enari Gallery.

Here, the gallery brought together six working artists—Dabin Ahn, Emma Beatrez, Fiona Finnegan, Lisa Liljeström, Lindsay Merrill, and Dimitris Tampakis—whose works together offered a novel dialogue around the creative potential of light. Tapping light as a compositional element, these artists explore the emotional, narrative, and even psychological capacity of light; each artists’ contribution illuminated a unique facet of light and the ways it may be artistically deployed. Not simply an empirical, representational component of the composition, “Make Me See” interrogated light as a conduit for storytelling.
