Necessary Fictions

De Chiara Gallery is pleased to announce
the opening of the group show Necessary
Fictions,
a group exhibition of works on paper by
20 artists from California, New York,
Stockholm, Copenhagen, Australia and
Great Britain.
While the artists approach drawing in
diverse ways, they each celebrate the
immediacy
and directness of drawing to unlock
pseudo-fantastical realities. These
works range from explorations and
notations to formally resolved works on
paper.
The artists infuse elements of fiction
and narrative with personal
self-discovery and shared common
experience. The parallel spaces revealed
in these works link our individual and
collective memories, our conscious and
sub-conscious, our hopes and fears.
Their embodiment of hybrid reality makes
them necessary fictions.
Opening Reception: Friday, June 21st,
7:00-9:00 p.m.
Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday
11:00-6:00 p.m.
