The Art Vacancy is pleased to present its very first group exhibition of fine arts, photography and videography, sculpture, installation, and mixed media.
The show, curated by Sáng Huynh, director of The Art Vacancy, will feature:
Christa Pratt (New York), Jen Yu (Glasgow), Sage Indigo (Pennsylvania), Dominyka Oblenyte (New York), Tae Hamm (Georgia), Nyran Loomcal (London), Vanessa Fischer (New York), Ari Edwards (Texas), Sky (Maryland), Math (New York), Catt Melendez (New York), Ilya Chaynikov (Milan), Murjoni Merriweather (Maryland), Suzanne Levesque (Luxemburg), and Destiny Molina (New York).
Passion vs. Pragmatism aims to examine the similarities and differences in the lived experience of artists faced with the unending struggle of balance— balancing their creative impulses with the pressures to adhere to conventionality, to make do with the ordinary and the expected. The show examines the constant trials between artists’ id and their ego— the dreamer and the realist.
For these artists, this search for equilibrium is readily apparent in their work through the use of vibrant colors and subtle textures, lightness and darkness, the manipulation of shape and form, and space and balance. This show brings together fifteen remarkable artists who epitomize the grit and resilience of the modern day creative.
