Summertime Rolls is a classic seasonal survey show featuring artists addicted to materials and processes. The exhibition is organized by Brooklyn-based painter Benjamin Pritchard who exhibits in the New York and Detroit areas.
“The decision to follow ones own thinking leads to strange outcomes.
The Artists in this group all have taken on the direct and difficult work of pursuing a personal perspective into the world unmitigated by style or fashion or larger forces whether by strength of will or incapability to do otherwise..
This quality or disposition around thinking and making from a personal idiosyncratic place is the central thing I love about each of the artists in this show and also what got me curious about how the work would all interact together.
Artwork that starts from this simple place of the self and feelings and thinking sympathetically about ones ideas leads to interesting realms.
My plan is to see how these different streams of thinking and making come together Into a larger thing.
