Lightness and Being, Group Show at SoNa Chicago:
How do we maintain serenity and peace within when forces outside of us are ambiguous and even tumultuous? How do we feel joy, share love, work, and create in times of uncertainty? What does it mean to “be” when we may feel apprehension about the future.
This group show, SoNa Chicago’s first open call for artists, explores how artists interpret and express the idea of lightness and being. The artists reflect on time, memories, and what lies ahead. They convey their wonderment at life, nature, spirituality, and our connections to each other. Light streams through the sky, through glass, or from an object. Lightness is interpreted through form, color, and texture. Some of the artwork conveys silence, stillness, and meditation. Other artists reflect on hardship and how to move through it. They connect to nature, humanity, and creativity as forces that fill us and can impact society. The artists make statements with their work that are profoundly positive, and generative. Questions of what it means to be and how lightness can imbue our consciousness and senses are explored through various media.
