ARTspace Past 2024 Exhibitions
Eye, Sea, You: Maxwell Johnson
January 10 – March 9, 2024
Opening Reception: January 26, 2024 during Winter ARTcrawl
Maxwell Johnson brings together a series of paintings that show the development and discovery of his unique artistic style. With a heavy use of black paint contrasted by vibrant colours, Maxwell expresses the internal experience of personal struggles with mental health, financial instability and conforming to societal standards.
The Fabrication of Stars and of Family: Elizabeth Downey
March 13 – May 11, 2024
Opening Reception: March 15, 2024
Downey is always working with how people connect. These works span time and space through the inclusion of quilting squares salvaged from a dusty box in an attic, from the 1930’s. Each square is unique and no pattern has been repeated, yet they are all part of what was intended to be a comforting quilt. Just like a family is stitched together through the inclusion and exclusion of people, the fact that this never did become a quilt reminds the viewer that blood cannot be the only thing that ties us together; there is sweat, there are tears, and there is hope that what is to come will be better than what has been.
