FusionFlareHeat
A Group Exhibition
November 7 - December 21, 2024
Reception for the artists Thursday, November 7, 6 - 8 pm
A group exhibition curated by Mary Shah and Rick Wester.
FusionFlareHeat, a group show that touches thematically on the anxiety of the moment, politically, environmentally and spiritually. The individual artists’ works are allowed their own life and prominence with the belief that visual messages have their own language and we must trust in their power of communication. Mary Shah and RWFA have collaborated in the past, including co-curating Love Devotion Surrender Dedication - a group show speaking to the indomitable spirit of living beings and makers as we tried to emerge from a post-Covid world, and most recently, Invincible Summer, another group show meditating on the transcendent power of art and communing with it in person and with each other.
