Earthbound

Since the ancient times of Aristotle and the Greeks, the enigma of color and light has complicated our understanding of ourselves as earthbound. Our desire to reach beyond these elemental forces confirms our shared humanity and provokes deeper inquiries into spirituality and deeper meaning.

 

This exhibition showcases a selection of artists whose explorations of color and materiality are profoundly rooted in these philosophical questions. From the inclusion of surrealist impulses to imagery from the natural world, Alicia Adamerovich, Olive Diamond, Rico Gatson, Greg Lindquist, Amy Lincoln, Loren Munk, Roxy Paine, Hedda Sterne, and Martha Tuttle, address the formal and symbolic applications of light and color, evoking the synthesis between the material and psychological, transcendental and embodied experience of human consciousness.
