We’re thrilled to announce our second exhibit, “The Times They Are A-Changin’”, featuring the works of Jessica Locklar. In this series we continue to focus on the human condition during a pandemic. In the past year we have often been isolated, almost completely without human interaction and left only to search our screens for solace. Often social media in this time has taught us to only see differences, and COVID robbed us of not only seats at the table with loved ones in quarantine, but also common ground.
Allow us to take a moment to remind ourselves that as humans we are resilient, but we need each other. Jessica’s paintings, with beautiful patterns and saturated colors, are a celebration of the people she turns to in life and also resonates as a spotlight on the true beauty of humanity. Artists, poets, musicians and philanthropists in the local community, this is about the positivity of local relationships and working together to keep each other up.
In unsure times and uprooted routines, we can turn to those humans closest to us for reassurance. This work is a homage to Jessica’s source of comfort, strength, and inspiration in humanity.
Join us in person for socially distant opening ceremonies on May 7th, and once again for the closing on June 25th - reserve your slot at http://tinyurl.com/empireartsgallery or visit our virtual gallery at http://empireartsgallery.com
Presented in part by Elmyriachi, Tower Press, Topo Chico, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Tritium Marketing
