New Radicals at Cerulean Arts

I guest curated a show for Cerulean Arts opening next week.  But the reception isn't until the Thanksgiving wave crashes over.  Saturday 12/1 from 2-5pm, please join! 1355 Ridge Ave Phila       If you would like a postcard send me an email.  More info on the show is here: https://ceruleanarts.com

Here is my blurb on the postcard: "I am pleased to present the exhibition New Radicals featuring 14 Philadelphia connected painters chosen for their subtle, slow and pleasureful commitment to their practice: Rebekah Callaghan, Mariel Capanna, Alex Cohen, Evan Fugazzi, Claire Kincade, Bonnie Levinthal, Adam Lovitz, Dustin Metz, John Mitchell, Samantha Mitchell, Kaitlin Pomerantz, Liza Samuel, Bill Scott and Leigh Werrell.  While the work varies in form and subject, an intimate relationship with mark, color and surface is consistent.  These 14 demonstrate a loving restraint, a respect for the mystery that unfolds in process and a deference for the maker's hand.  In the face of current trends, this careful work feels radical.  I look to these painters as an antidote, as proof that the greatest painting can still be deeply felt and personal.  And I take great interest in the way this groundswell is happening here, two hours south of New York."

We will be installing in a few days and I will post some installation images.  I am really thrilled to be working with these people and their beautiful work.  I hope the space will have an exponential surge of that beauty when all their energy is in one place.  I will be giving a talk on 12/8 too, so when I fullydevelop that maybe I will post some further thoughts on curating and the themes I hope the show explores.
