“Through rich patterning, ornate surfaces, and curious details, this exhibition aims to delight visitors and reward those who observe closely and look again.

The artists in this show add unexpected twists to historical styles and techniques. Even the way the art is displayed draws on the past—works are hung floor to ceiling, a three-hundred-year-old installation technique known as ‘salon style.’

The artists’ approaches, however, are thoroughly of our time. Gain insight into their ideas through the quotes included on the labels. Try taking your time to look, read the quote, and then look again.”
