Our world is in a perpetual state of transformation best negotiated by a conscientious balancing act between pendulum swings. Flux can be disruptive and chaotic yet in many ways it is regenerative and rich with hope and possibility.
Through composition and varied media, the works in States of Being explore the coalescence and harmonization of concepts traditionally held in opposition and the beauty and regeneration that can be wrought from disruption. The collection of paintings, collage, ceramics, and mixed media works include a blend of abstraction and surreal figuration. They are bold, brightly colored, and abuzz with energy.
States of Being features the work of Ricky Allman, Barry Anderson, Anne Hieronymus, Dion Johnson, Gegam Kacherian, Ryan W. Kelly, Guy Palmer Merrill, Lester Monzon, Christine Nguyen, and Anne Austin Pearce.
