A.I.R. Gallery announces ...and sweeps me away, an exhibition by A.I.R. National Members, curated by Barbara O’Brien.

The thought-provoking works of art in ...and sweeps me away cannot be known by standing in a single place—either physical or philosophical. Each of the eighteen artists invites, expects, or demands that the viewer move from near to far to experience the surface or composition of the art, that the viewer brings an intellectual generosity and a willingness to engage. The works reflect a move away from the didactic to the interpretive, away from the self-portrait as an image of the self and towards the self-portrait as a cultural snapshot. Many of the artists imbue abstraction with political and social import while others explore non-traditional approaches in their chosen mediums.
