Stanford Kay | Painting Out Loud
Exhibition Dates: February 17 - March 10, 2024
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 17, 2024, 5 - 7 pm
Garrison Art Center (GAC) is pleased to announce ‘Painting Out Loud,’ an exhibition of paintings by Stanford Kay. This is the artist’s first solo show at GAC. The exhibition will run from February 17 - March 10, 2024 with an opening reception on Saturday, February 17, from 5-7 pm.
Stanford Kay’s exhibition ‘Painting Out Loud’ is a dialog between unconscious impulses and the desire to create meaning. Kay endeavors to paint intuitively and work without an agenda, maintaining a state of mind where he is present and open until resonant forms and relationships assert themselves in his work. As he paints, words and phrases that serve as working titles and veritable signposts enter Stanford’s mind and persist throughout a number of paintings. Kay’s critical thinking takes over, and the painting is then steered to where he thinks it needs to go, but he also embraces spontaneity and the unknown, allowing for the artistic journey to occur. ‘Painting Out Loud’ will be on view concurrently with ‘Sideway Glances,’ an exhibition of paintings by Tatana Kellner. The galleries at Garrison Art Center are open Tuesday – Sunday, 10 am - 5 pm.
