A Fine Line: Graffiti and the Power of Dissent: Beacon, NY
Ethan Cohen Gallery at the KuBe Art Center
211 Fishkill Ave, Beacon, NY 12508
Opening Reception: May 13, 3 – 6 pm
Ethan Cohen Gallery at the KuBe Art Center are pleased to present a summer group exhibition, A Fine Line: Graffiti and the Power of Dissent, curated by Joseph Ayers and Ethan Cohen. The exhibition presents artists who use the power of line and gesture in their work to convey messages of subversion. How does the hand guide lines of dissent in contemporary art, and in what ways do artists use their personal language and experience to speak out against conventions and injustice?
A Fine Line: Graffiti and the Power of Dissent, mixes together local Hudson Valley artists, along with acclaimed international artists, who answer these questions from both personal and political perspectives. Ranging from representational portraiture and figurative work, to non-objective abstraction, graffiti tagging and more, A Fine Line explores those gestures that question the established structures and conventional boundaries that define our lives.
