Sudden inspiration has its charms: like a bolt of lightning at midnight it illuminates everything around it in the eerie, electric blue of genius. But the fact is that the bolt only lasts a fraction of a second, and then you are cast back into the dark.

The four artists in this show, on the other hand, have taken the raw materials of their experience — the murky waters of the id, follies of youth, flights of imagination — and have translated it into a bonfire of creativity that pushes the darkness back until the day returns.

And in making their own heat and light they come up with paintings that are as surprising, fluid and mesmerizing as darting flames and glowing embers.

All four are at their peak. Their world is color. Their passion is movement, and they take us, via their mark and line, on a magnificent journey. They show us an unabashed love for color, rhythm, space, movement, light and play.
