CURATORS QUOTE
Disruption. Reorganization. A move to surprise, unsettle. Or, in artistic terms, exactly that.
The abstract artist does not look at a canvas to recreate something seen but to reinterpret a confluence of things imagined. Disruption is integral to the art sojourn. Cubism challenged Impressionism and Dada and Surrealism moved the needle further until Abstract Expressionism arrived with less focus on the subconscious turmoil and more on the emotional intent. The abstract artist presents the viewer with an invitation to ‘see what I see’ or ‘feel what I feel.’
Being our first spring exhibit, Shake It Up, seemed the perfect catalyst to encourage all to bloom. Shake off any of those winter blues and re-ignite your passions. As Picasso said, ‘Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Aside from the two abstract artists featured in the exhibit, Shake It Up incorporates graffiti images that in their inherent inception and intent is to shake things up, alongside mixed media creations that juxtapose images in unexpected and extraordinary ways. Diamond dusted icons make an appearance because, as the endless tabloids exposed, they always shook things up. And then there are the photographs of legends who rattled the cage so loud it was deafening. But Shake It Up could not be complete without female-centric paintings that weave striking portraits with evocative narratives.
There is a certain beauty in the quiet but how lovely to have an alternative.
