Perspective: A Fresh Look at Contemporary Painting & Drawing
Curated by Cory Oberdorfer

Having existed for quite a few millennia, painting and drawing are easily dismissed in the digital age as being antiquated mediums. So what keeps them alive? Curiosity. An artist’s job is to explore; both themselves and the world around them. This exhibition is built of artists who reflect on their everyday lives, blend the past and present, and manipulate old ideas in a new way. These drawings and paintings represent unique perspectives on life, death, objects, ideas, people, forms, and truths. Each work exists as the artist communicating with the viewer and with other artists in the room. It is our job to look and listen and see things through their eyes for a moment.
