Scrolling through the thumbnails of art by SAQA’s Juried Artist Members is, at first, a daunting task. A blur of colors, textures and forms – each demanding a decision to pass or pause.
Then, a moment of curiosity, a casual hover to see if the title provides insight followed by an urgent visual pull and a desire to know more.
Clicking through to the detail provides a rewarding surprise. The piece is larger than anticipated, or a different orientation, or has interesting details or an unexpected story. For some pieces, the artist statement provides answers to the original questions. With others, there is only a visual and we must provide our own imagination, interpretation and emotional response.
This exhibit contains many expressive forms, from abstract, to nature, to the human form. Each drew me in to discover why, how or for whom it was made. Whether you are drawn to technique, narrative, line or color, I invite you to let your curiosity be piqued and enjoy the details!
