"I Won't Grow Up" presents works in various media by a variety of artists that embrace a child-like sensibility. These artists, gaining inspiration from childhood, incorporate compositional elements which are evocative of the creative freedom and wonderment of younger years. The result is a work that is both nostalgic and refreshing, embodying an abandonment of adulthood for the endless play of Peter Pan.
“The artist, like the child, is passive. The artist remains a child who is no longer innocent yet cannot liberate himself from the unconscious. The acting out of his terror is self-involved and pleasurable. Some artists act all their lives instead of thinking.” -Louise Bourgeois
