This survey brings forward two groups of artists united by a visual sensibility and an enthusiasm for traditions of painting. This sensibility is one of engagement and fascination with the world around us: how we see it, experience it, feel it deeply through form and color. The pursuit through painting and drawing of the mysteries of the visual world is indeed an existential experience illuminated by historical precedents. To these two contemporary groups of artists, tradition” is never a limit nor a restraint, but liberation–a constant source of renewal.
–John Goodrich
