Mary Dondero, Curators' Notes
Look Harder, See More invites viewers to embark on a journey of discovery. In a society dominated by quick looks and superficial interpretations, this exhibition encourages deeper engagement with art. From hyper-realistic intricacies that demand close scrutiny to minimalist forms that challenge conventional perception, Look Harder, See More urges audiences to transcend the obvious and uncover the hidden depths of artistic expression. In the realm of hyper-realism, artists meticulously render scenes and subjects with observational precision. Conversely, abstract minimalism strips away extraneous elements to distill essence and evoke contemplation, and figurative works offer glimpses into the human experience. Within these varied approaches lies a common thread: the power of art to provoke thought, evoke emotion, and ignite imagination. As you navigate this exhibition, I encourage you to linger, to explore, and to allow yourself to be captivated by the stories woven into each artwork. "Look Harder, See More," will inspire curiosity, provoke contemplation, and awaken a deeper appreciation for the power of art. |
