Gay Summer Rick: Interventional Itinerary (Now online until October 30th, 2021)

bG Gallery a le plaisir de présenter sa septième exposition personnelle avec l'artiste peintre Gay Summer Rick. Initialement prévue pour le calendrier d'exposition de 2020 et reportée en raison de la pandémie, Gay Summer Rick avait conçu un ensemble d'œuvres totalement différent à exposer. Envisageant des paysages aériens imprégnés de lumière et d'atmosphère, Gay Summer Rick a entrepris de préparer l'exposition en parcourant ce qu'elle appelle un ’itinéraire intentionnel“ entre Los Angeles et New York. Au début de la pandémie de COVID-19, elle a été contrainte, comme le reste du monde, de réévaluer son objectif et de le tourner vers la famille, les amis et la sécurité.
In conversations with those selfsame family and friends, Rick began to recognize a common thread, the ardent desire to be somewhere, anywhere else. In subsequent conversations she made a point to ask, “If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?” Based on the responses received, Rick’s “intentional itinerary” was transmuted into an “interventional itinerary” and her depictions of that itinerary shifted to match. As much as she used it as a tool to transport herself, Rick’s newest paintings are meant as a means to help viewers emerge from their collective lockdowns and to carry them to inspirational places. The resultant locales are intended to show “moments of joy,” where her audience is “enveloped in a quiet calm, holding onto big dreams, and embracing hope for the brightest days ahead.” The series is a gorgeous celebration of our return to life. With a wide open lens, Rick explores location, palette, and the unexpected, championing optimism, peace, and joy.
