Keyes Art in Sag Harbor will open “One Stop — The Rise of Modernism,” on Friday, December 10, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The show is organized by Virva Hinnemo and George Negroponte and runs through January 3.
The exhibition features work by 11 artists who routinely use a visual language acquired over time that includes history, cultivation, practice and disappointment. These artists don’t work with “received information.” Instead, they internalize and grind out their visual experience like a long-distance run dedicated to originality.
They doubt themselves a lot. The more doubt, the better, and as the years go by, only the work fuels the fire.
The participating artists are Adam Bartos, Matthew Bliss, Steve Bethel, Peter Dayton, Nathan Slate Joseph, Erika Ranee, Toni Ross, Bastienne Schmidt, Kristy Schopper, Walter Schrank and Leslee Stradford.
Keyes Art is at 45 Main Street, Sag Harbor, adjacent to The American Hotel. For details, call 631-808-3508.
