BRIDGING DIVIDES Exhibition
October 16th - 26th
"We live in a world that can feel increasingly divided and yet making and experiencing art can bridge differences, heal rifts, and expose truths"
Through varied media, the eleven artists in the ‘Bridging Divides’ exhibition bring intentionality and bravery to their work in order to highlight dualities and foster reconciliation.
In their work, these artists communicate subject matter through both internal and external manifestations that range from private topics, such as exploring competing states of mind and emotions, to universals, such as the contemporary challenge of traversing tensions between one’s cultural origins and current lived experiences.
Heart-wrenching beauty, realism, and vivid color seductively span the interplay between art and concept and bely the tension of complicated subject matter ranging from healing anxiety to gender politics. These topics are expressed in overt, transparent styles, and also through symbolic and artistic means including gesture, brushstroke, and mark-making.
