"The Young and The Restless, Part II" Exhibition
Michael Steinberg Fine Art
This event has ended.
"The Young and the Restless, Part II" is an exhibition of 6 emerging artists based in New York. The show questions the contemporary concepts of medium and artistic practice: by turns each of these artists ponder and re-work the disciplines of painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography. Building on personal experience--the artists hail from diverse ethnic backgrounds including Grenada, Brazil, and Murmansk, as well as native New Yorkers, and deal with issues equally as diverse--from colonialism, genocide and cultural erasure to aesthetic questions of color, composition and the nature of light. Christian Weikop, in his April 4 review of the Gordon Parks exhibit in the Saatchi Online Magazine, likened the 6 artists to the artists of the early 20th century Brucke movement, in their earthiness, dynamism and dedication to Utopian artistic goals.
"Freed from the limitation of medium or methodology, open to exploration and experimentation, unafraid to make a statement, these are six artists on the move. Their art--experiential, open-ended and engaged--beckons, inviting us to interact and react, to contemplate and investigate these embodied narratives and the possibilities of vision"
-Sue Canning, from her introduction to "The Young and The Restless."
