This December, experience a group exhibition of international scope organized solely through Facebook as WWA gallery presents Subtleties of Character. Curated by Dan Barry, Subtleties of Character showcases 27 artists and their personal vision while simultaneously exploring layers of connections that exist within the New Contemporary Art Movement.
Open to the public, the Subtleties of Character gallery reception is from 7 – 10pm on Friday, December 10th. Each artist will present a primary work in addition to 1-3 drawings to be shown in the project space. The exhibition will run until January 15th, 2011.
“Upon being asked to curate a show at WWA gallery,” Dan said of Subtleties of Character, “I immediately made a list of artists whose work contained unique personal visions that resonated for me. Often, the work is emotionally charged, soulful and ambiguous in narrative, but full of enough signifiers of meaning for me to derive my own meaning from the work.”
