The Spotlight Gallery features local up-and-coming artists. This August, see works by Noah Beich.
“My practice has been developing steadily since my freshman year of high school. It was that year when I caught my first rush of fulfillment after making a drawing. For many years up until the final year or so of my undergraduate degree, my practice remained very didactic and stylistically this led to information rich works. They were still filled with color and emotion but my works often had texts and almost always had a clear desire to impart a moral lesson on the viewer. However in my last year of undergrad and the following year in which I’ve been working a regular 9-5 at a sign store, I’ve noticed my intuition has driven me away from this foundation. In these past two years my work has become far more “entertaining” or more accurately escapist. That translates to far more purely abstract work rather than primarily figurative work with abstract elements, which was my previous methodology.”
On display August 1 - 30.
