Short Description
Pinkwater Gallery -@- Kingston Social in Kingston NY invites artists to reinterpret the most ordinary, everyday objects in fresh, creative ways. This exhibition explores how the items that surround us – often overlooked, taken for granted, or dismissed as mundane – can become sources of inspiration, wonder, and reflection when seen through an artistic lens.
Think of the intimacy of the mundane: the objects you touch daily that quietly shape your routines. Think of the poetry of the useful: tools and utensils that carry both function and hidden symbolism. Think of the beauty in what we overlook: a chair, a teacup, a pair of worn shoes, or the shadow of a lamp, transformed into subjects of meaning and imagination.
Eligibility
We encourage all approaches, whether abstract interpretations or figurative works. By gathering these perspectives, we aim to highlight the extraordinary within the ordinary and invite viewers to see their surroundings anew.
All 2D work is welcome—painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, photography, and mixed media—abstract or figurative, minimal or richly layered.
- Open to all artists working in 2D media only (painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, photography, printmaking).
- Work must be ready to hang, gallery-wired, and within size limits (no larger than 48” high and/or wide)
