✏️💛🎨 Twenty years ago, in the summer of 2000, Barbara Gladstone Gallery organized an exhibition entitled 𝟶𝟶, a survey of drawings at the turn of the millennium. On the 20th anniversary of this expansive presentation, 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟶 revisits this idea of drawing—how it remains vital, how it constantly mounts a quiet revolution, and how it transforms in the care of different artists—as a lens into how artists live and make work at this important moment in history. ⁣ ⁣ These works are a product of our times: influenced by the physical, political, and technological elements of everyday life. More recently, quarantine in the face of a global pandemic and a widespread reckoning on race have changed many perspectives and how we view the world, each other, and art. Yet the act of drawing has continued to surge forward – the works in this exhibition present the inherent complexities and intrinsic qualities of what constitutes a drawing in the expanded field.⁣ ⁣ 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟶, an exhibition of drawings made in the present moment, is currently on view at @gladstone.gallery’s 21st Street gallery and in the online viewing room. Release 1/5 will be available online September 24 – October 5: to view, visit link in bio! ⁣ ⁣ Candida Alvarez⁣ 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝟺, 2020⁣ Watercolor pencil on yupo paper⁣ 12 x 9 inches (30.5 x 22.9 cm)⁣ @candida_alvarez_studio, courtesy of the artist and Gavlak Los Angeles/Palm Beach.⁣ ___⁣ #candidaalvarez #candidaalvarezstudio #drawingshelter #puertoricanartists #latinartists #latinxart #feministartist #bipocartists #womeninthearts #womenartist #workingartist #femaleartists #feministart #inspiringwomen #watercolor #womenartists #puertorico #thefutureisfemale #worksonpaper #yupo #yupopaper #drawing2020 #gladstone #gladstonegallery #onlineviewingrooms #viewingroom #barbaragladstone #exhibition00 #galleryexhibition #drawing (at Gladstone Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxUBQmFyq2/?igshid=1oseds52nl37h
