The Dryansky Gallery is proud to present In the Footsteps of the Masters, a group exhibition celebrating the human figure with works by three emerging artists. The exhibition features oil paintings by LA-based artist Sarah Awad, spray paintings on paper by Bangkok-based artist Daniel Sewell, and etchings by French artist Mija. In the Footsteps of the Masters will be on view from February 12 through March 18, 2016 with an opening reception on Friday, February 12 from 7–9 PM. Artist Sarah Awad will be in attendance.
In the Footsteps of the Masters is about seeking connection and renewing a conversation with the past. What can history teach us? What can we draw from the past? As New York art writer David Gibson said so succinctly, "History presents us not only with knowledge but with mysteries that it is our role to unravel." By investigating the ideas behind the Cubists, Symbolists, Fauves and Neo-Expressionists through their astute study, these three artists are able to infuse a familiar language into their own new and unique practices, creating works that evoke a sense of serenity and a clear emotional range.
