Sympathetic Magic
Sympathetic Magic is a group exhibition that explores the creation of idiosyncratic representations that attempt to change the artist鈥檚 perception of reality. Sir James George Frazier in 鈥� The Golden Bough 鈥� (1889) defined sympathetic magic as the realization of a magic act through either imitation or correspondance, the result of which relies heavily in the magician鈥檚 honest belief that the trick will succeed in front of a mesmerized audience. The four artists in this exhibition are magicians in their own right, dexterous in the practice of their own craft and holding forth their highly distinctive styles with a confidence that will convince any viewer of the importance of the painting鈥檚 message.
The artists represented here each have a distinct manner of portraying the worlds that they have created for themselves and their art, without contrivance that could keep the viewer from experiencing the intent of the work and believe in its earnest qualities.
