Cell Series: Exile and Isolation
The Cell Series is a widely acclaimed exhibition series that presents the work of living artists within the Dzchallengingdz upper galleries of the historic 1877 jail structure. Sustaining the passion of the OJAC founders in supporting and exhibiting contemporary artists, visitors encounter works by artists that attempt to interpret and translate the world we universally experience with often surprising and enlightening results.
Temporarily breaking tradition of inviting a single artist to conceive, create, and install an exhibition of their work; the OJAC invites curator Julie Webb of the Webb Gallery in Waxahachie, Texas to create an exhibition/installation of work by several self-taught artists for the February Cell Series. These artists work, or have worked, in self-imposed isolation to deal with what the world has dealt them. They have used their artistic talents to communicate through the language of art. The common thread between these artists is often the self-imposed isolation as a means to overcome mental and emotional challenges. They create in concentrated states and often in obsessive manners to share their world through the beauty of their artwork.
