HOPEFUL DARKNESS: A Group Exhibition Tuesday, November 28th – Saturday, December 16th, 2017 Opening reception: Thursday November 30th, 5:30 – 8:00pm
Atlantic Gallery is pleased to present Hopeful Darkness: A Group Exhibition, featuring works by a diverse group of artists working with encaustic and cold wax medium. The exhibition has been juried by Ingrid Dinter, of Dinter Fine Art, and conceived of and organized by artist Melissa Rubin. The exhibition is sponsored by the International Encaustic Artists organization.
“Hopeful Darkness reflects the coming darker months, a time when each day gets shorter and winter approaches. The fading light can also be seen as a metaphor for the current state of our moment in time. We live in a contentious, and not always light-filled world, which is ever-changing and uncertain; it can feel as if the darkness is encroaching on so many levels. Artists must transcend this feeling and allow the light, the hopeful energy, to shine through.
Two states of being, with such opposite meanings, fit so beautifully together and can create a powerful statement: Hopeful =
believing something good will happen; auspicious; optimistic; promising. Darkness = devoid of light; gloomy; secret; possessing depth and richness. The works in this show express the dichotomy of Hopeful Darkness.” – Melissa Rubin
