PARADOXICAL PARADIGMS

Posted on November 12, 2020 by public relations in Uncategorized

February 5 – March 13, 2021
Juried Exhibition
Juror, Kristin Cuomo


Work Featured on home page “Quantum Entanglement 35” by Irene Clark

Our gallery is currently closed due to damage to our water line from the hotel construction next door. The exhibit will be on display in our Main Street Gallery, 213 Main St., Huntington NY 11743 and can be viewed through the windows beginning on or around February 13th.

Artists were invited to submit work inspired by the following statement. A paradox is defined as something that contradicts itself but is nevertheless true, something that should not exist but defies expectations. Huntington Arts Council is calling for artists to challenge themselves and push the boundaries with what is possible with their art. Pieces that seem impossible yet exist anyway, exploring themes of the impossible and the contradictory. 

“Reading the call for entries, I thought: Pushing boundaries, sitting with contradiction, defying expectation ? these are all niches in the human experience that artists regularly inhabit. Spaces where external and internal motivators set their intentions alight and sharpen their craft. I came to the entries expecting to be dazzled by paradigm, left wondering and thinking. This group of artists did not disappoint. The range of subject matter, media and form offers the viewer abundant fodder for the senses – and the mind.” Said Kristin Cuomo, Juror about the submissions from the artists.

Participating artists include: Shain Bard, Darlene Blaurock Zintis Buzermanis, Irene Clark, Doris Diamond, Vicki Dollin, Samantha Dring, Terry Finch, Jan Guarino, Heather Heckel, Molly Hon, Adam Kane Macchia, Kate Kelly, Julianna Kirk, Leslie LaGuardia, Sarah Lybrand, Mary McGrane, Meagan Meehan, Priya Mendiratta, John Micheals, Eric Murphy, Howard Pohl, John Pulinat, Anne Rotondo, James Schultz, Meryl Shapiro, James Slezak, Nicholas Striga, Toxic/Nature Studios, Taylor Wang, Stephen Wyler, Isabel Yeo
