Suggestivism: Resonance

Spoke Art is pleased to present Suggestivism: Resonance, a group show curated by Nathan Spoor. With over 40 artists from around the world participating in the exhibition, each piece brings a unique perspective and development to what it means to be a Suggestivist. Rendered in a variety of media, each artist has a distinct approach and style while maintaining commonality through painstaking details and phantasmagoric scenes.

Curator Nathan Spoor describes Suggestivism as an art movement, flowing from “the artist’s specific and unique vision, a psychological or even mystical manifestation brought into reality by an artist’s personal aesthetic… including a variety of vivid, original and technically obsessive individuals.” Each artist’s contribution to the exhibition creates a sense of tension in a dream-like moment constructed with familiar components, characters and objects that make them at once recognizable and also discombobulating. Drawing from a deep well of inspiration including Rococo and Renaissance masters, painters James McNeill Whistler, Georges Seurat, writers like Edgar Allan Poe, contemporary surrealism and imaginative personal ruminations, Suggestivism: Resonance takes the viewer on a journey through alternate worlds. At the core of many of the artists’ work is the importance of imagination and an exploration into unknown landscapes populated by ethereal and implausible characters. Please join us for Suggestivism: Resonance, opening Thursday, September 1st, with an opening night reception from 6pm-10pm. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, September 24th.
