“ ...to have as much fun or live life as richly as possible. It does absolutely no use to stress and worry about how everything will turn out in life....it's far better to just let the good times roll.” Dictionary of Idioms.
Whew! It’s been a journey these past months and we all need a release to allow for some positive experiences to stream into our lives as we recover from the stress and intensity of the world around us. Like a refreshing wind that brings in new life, it is time to turn the page and have a fresh outlook. These have been times to adapt to, despite unexpected circumstances or challenges and now moving forward. “Let the good times roll" are the lyrics to the famous 1950s rock 'n' roll song that celebrated a movement of vibrant new times and fresh ways of looking at life. Perhaps we are in a similar place today, at this current juncture of time, there exists a desire to be perked up, inspired and set free. History does repeats itself, and we always find fresh paths when presented with a challenge.
The aim of this exhibition is to be uplifting while tapping into the current zeitgeist, exploring themes from escapism, beautification, immersion, sensationalism, social conscious, domesticity and everything stimulating in between. Whether it is a good feeling, a positive memory or the here and now, its just a celebration of life – we always want to “ let the good times roll”. Each artist in the exhibition shares an element of openness which leads you to the unknown, so see where it takes you? It could be mediative, contemplative, superlative or just relative. Come join us for a journey of color, texture, surprise, humor, and reflection.
