Opening Reception: Daveed Shwartz

Shwartz’s compositions are often strange and humorous representations of the fragility of existence. Once in a Blue Moon features both somber, contemplative landscapes and vibrant, whimsical collages populated by a cast of figures that blur the line between human, animal, and machine. Shwartz’s work is equal parts introspective and irreverent, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of instability and connection in the modern world. “My work is about the fragility of life. There is no solid ground. This is a high wire act, and we can fall, or choose to fly, at any moment. My work embraces the beauty and vulnerability of the human condition.” More Info below.
