Within art we don’t see shadows as an absence, but rather, a presence. They serve as extensions of form and silent collaborators in composition. For many, the power of lighting and the beauty of shadows are often overlooked within individual creative practices. It isn’t until AFTER a work is completed and installed that many artists recognize how strong shadows can elevate the way different artwork is viewed and experienced.
In the Shadow, brings together artists who utilize shadows intentionally throughout their creative process. Existing as an integral part of the work rather than as a byproduct, the shadows become an active part of the overall composition. Through a variety of media, this exhibition highlights how light and shadows shape perception, define space, and complete the visual narrative.
