What drives us to move forward, what triggers our memories, propels us to evolve, sentences us to repeat, allows us to envision and recreate our realities? These are the questions asked by the artists and their works in our current exhibition. Whether the iconic landscapes of Americana in Holoweski’s works on paper and Lightners’ small paintings, the overt messages tied to the nostalgic campaign buttons by David Stassi, the jungle of indecipherable personal text in Butowicz’s large works on canvas, or the intriguing sub-culture of textiles created by Jacob Rhodes, all these artists are pushing their mediums to new heights of past emotions revisited. A bright and honest present represented by their art – A reason to make us think, question and move forward.
