OPEN ENDED

Curators’ Quote

‘NO LIMIT.

FLEXIBLE.  CONTINUOUS DISCUSSION.  SPONTANEOUS RESPONSES.  

Such is the definition of the artistic journey.  A photographer who has spanned 7 continents in pursuit of the perfect shot executing spontaneous responses when facing an attack from a two-ton rhino.  A Hall of Fame abstract artist who showed with Pollock and de kooning and had continuous discussions on the post WWII movement.  An Italian Vogue fashion photographer who creates tableaux that engage on all fronts with no limit on the narrative alongside famed iconic imagery from the past and present that does the same.  Add to that female centric whimsical paintings where one could find oneself atop a strawberry shortcake or a full moon or mysteriously swimming at night in a misty lagoon or looking for that martini and designer purse that will make it all better.  Figurative and abstract paintings with soft, alluring palettes share the space with aerial photography and floppy disk creations.  And, of course, Open Ended would be remise without sculptures of three figures who collectively have fueled continuous discussions.  Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra and Picasso.  

In curating this exhibit we wanted multiple takes on creativity.   No limit is a relentless doctrine of the art world, and it is what keeps it ever-evolving.  Ergo the flexibility.  But this exhibit is the lighter side of no limit, just a delightful stroll through a myriad of muses.’
