I AM THE PASSENGER — MOTHER

I AM THE PASSENGER
an intergenerational group exhibition of non-objective painting, in two parts—

Part I: May 13 - June 17, 2023
Intermission
Part II: June 24 - July 29, 2023

Organized by Trudy Benson, Paola Oxoa, and Russell Tyler.

I AM THE PASSENGER acts as a looking glass for perceiving our current moment in time and place—within the lineage of non-objective painting.

We relate to non-objective painting in both corporeal and immaterial ways. Non-objective painting wants to stir something. Non-objective painting connects with our bodies. Severe yet playful, non-objective painting is evidence of the artist operating within a greater movement of creation. We bear witness to the journey of artist as passenger when we stand in view of non-objective painting. Non-objective painting is about feeling and perceiving in the body, it’s personal, it’s universal.
