When entering the small gallery, one becomes almost overwhelmed by the diverse display which is presented. This creates an euphoric sensation which may have been a reflection of the energies of the artists who created each piece. The joy of discovering what one can manifest through techniques learned in a classroom when combined with the talent one processes is evident throughout the room.
Although there are too many artists participating in the exhibition to name in this article, each demonstrates a love for their endeavors not often seen in the works created by more established artists. There is a deeper sense of uncertain exploration which a more experienced artist may have considered something he/she tried before and choose to forgo this time around. However, these artists who are mostly inexperienced in the best sense of the concept seem to be untouched by the “Yeah, I did that before” summation and have the ability to discover more of the unknown as they say “Well, that’s interesting.”
The work was also untouched by what many established galleries would and would not hang based upon their understanding of the market place and community values. Many often choose artists whose work is void of any political or social statement and looks great over the couch. Much of the work reflected the political beliefs of the artist along with some commentary on the society and all its misgivings they have become aware of. This was a refreshing change of pace for those who tired of the “safe” art often found in established galleries. This and the energies found in each piece enhanced the exhibit a great deal and made a trip to the gallery a very meaningful one.
