Forever Transient

Dove Gallery

Exhibition Dates: May 20 – August 9

‘Forever Transient’ visually investigates the meaning behind transience, impermanence, continuous change and the desire to preserve and prolong the temporary moment. Inspired by Dutch still life paintings and vanitas, each artist exemplifies a different creative approach and skill set to artistically render the fragility of time. Time does not sand still. It marches forward and looks back retrospectively at the past. Therefore, the experience of time is never linear, but cyclical.

“Whether skillfully rendering mundane routines, reimagining a personal archive, or concentrating on the minute details of a moment already gone, these artists bring to life something as connected to the temporary as it is to the everlasting. The small becomes the meaningful, the part becomes a whole. It is not the need for retrospection, but the will to render the complicated nuances of time, memory and fragility that give this collection of works its power. It is within these elapsed moments that the painting lives and continues to evolve, forever.” ~ Group Quote

Special thanks to the Tracy Morgan Gallery for allowing Central Piedmont to display artwork from Colby Caldwell and James Henkel.
