FOUNDATIONS The intention to build has a beginning. Physical or conceptual, it starts somewhere. The desire and push to arrive at the “flawless finish” has been so amplified it has created an imbalance in our systems. What is deemed success through the clouded lens of opinion presents a mask of what is underneath. What is buried. The Foundation. The true foundation of a structure is often hidden. Perceived as ugly, blemished or unsitely; a foundation sits. Doing its job of creating and cradling the place of beginning. Where history starts. While most pass and marvel at the beautifully polished and pleasant aesthetic achievement of what is visible; an architect: an insider, will pass and know to appreciate that the real work is being done by The Foundation. To invent and to create from nothingness is, by definition; Art. Just as an architect requires a structurally sound solid foundation upon which the masterpiece will sit, so must and artist rely and ideate on a foundation built of learned skills and tested materials. PiECES Gallery by Akasha Collective is hosting a weekend exhibition this May in Yonkers NY to highlight and celebrate the art of Foundation. Artists of all mediums are invited to submit their works for consideration including sketches, concept development drawings, and finished pieces. The intention of the exhibition is to acknowledge and honor the history of the creatives journey to better celebrate their success!
