{con·tin·u·um}

My mission at Continuum Gallery is to explore the notion of what we humans consider truth.  Art is most interesting when the artist asks the spectator to turn a simple idea into their own art - as if the work is looking at them, and they are the one being perceived.

There's something very fundamental underneath this idea of empowering the spectator. Many galleries and museums create huge explanations to ensure the viewer sees a piece of art the same way they do. This sometimes leads to the viewer feeling like they don't "get it" or aren't worthy of appreciating the art. So, why do they do it?

Viewers are perfectly capable of coproducing the narrative, and doing so gives them a sense of pride and appreciation. I use this idea to curate each show and ask the viewer to deliberate the relationships between each painting and the artists showing their work. By showing artists that compare in some ways and not in others, we can see similar subjects through different eyes. It's similar to catching a rainbow in a mist - not one viewer sees it the same from every angle.
