At Partners Gallery in May, gallery artists interpret and represent in their work their take on “Life on the Edge.” It all begins with the awareness of the coast’s location on the edge of the continent where tectonic plates shift and we walk the thrilling and sometimes scary steep cliffsides. The edginess of our times presses upon our consciousness, and we imagine trying to keep our balance in the shifting and disappearing of the normal, or what we might need to manage the challenges of a changing pissed-off climate. Edges can include political boundaries like Israel’s Green Line with Palestine, or Ukraine with Russia. And of course the edge can be viewed in purely formal terms as a structural element in a painting. Partners artists work in painting, drawing, mixed media, fiber, printmaking and sculpture.
Be sure and check out additional discussions about Life on the Edge in our Blog.
