In contrast, some turn towards abstraction and conceptualism, leaning into digital territory, or at the very least, digitally adjacent.įrom Danny Báez: “The Privilege of Getting Together features 16 artists who are experimenting with mixed media and texture to speak on themes of community, gathering, family, lineage, home, and relationships - themes many are thinking about within their domestic spaces during the time of COVID 19.Informed by their cultural backgrounds from around the globe such as the Caribbean, Asia, South America and beyond, the artists collectively speak on the contemporary US experience.” Figuration often appears, with discussions surrounding identity and the body via traditional portraiture. While some of the artists reference art history, others hardly regard formalism, pushing their mediums to unseen boundaries and pulling from cultural lineage and backgrounds. Through a variety of mediums, the exhibition assembles a wide range of influences and inspirations, from the outsider art movement to pop art, to post-analog painting and hyperrealism. The first two iterations of TPOGT were hosted by REGULARNORMAL in 2020, with this being the first co-organized event with SWIVEL Gallery. An experiment in collaboration, The Privilege of Getting Together III explores contemporary painting, sculpture and illustration. Curated by Graham Wilson, Archiebald Raphulu and Danny Báez, the showcase brings together sixteen diverse artists from New York and abroad. | This is sponsored content.SWIVEL Gallery is pleased to present The Privilege of Getting Together III, a group exhibition in conjunction with REGULARNORMAL.
