Curator’s Statement: In shaping an exhibition, my curatorial approach is guided by a commitment to contemporary vision, material mastery, and a deep inquiry into human experience. I am seeking works that reflect the urgency and spirit of our present moment—art that is both timely and timeless in its capacity to respond to the shifting questions of our era. Technical proficiency is essential, but more so is the integration of medium and meaning. I am interested in pieces where the chosen materials become a vital language, amplifying the artwork’s emotional and conceptual depth. Above all, I value art that ventures beneath the surface, offering not only visual engagement but also a profound exploration of what it means to be human. I hope to assemble a collection that navigates ambiguity and paradox, evokes empathy and reflection, and invites viewers to consider the contours of private longing and collective consciousness.
Exhibiting Artists: Allan Gorman, Ann Vollum, Brad Terhune, Gwen Yip, Injoo Whang, Jean-Paul Picard, Josué, Morales Urbina, Nanette Reynolds Beachner
