Ocean Days
August 8th – September 12th, 2024
Kantor Gallery is proud to present a compelling new exhibition that delves into the dynamic and evocative theme of surfing and oceans, featuring works by a diverse group of acclaimed artists. This collection explores the intersection of art, nature, and human experience, capturing the beauty, power, and mystery of the sea.
Among the featured artists, Damien Hirst‘s conceptual pieces offer a meditation on life and death through the lens of the ocean. Kenny Scharf‘s vibrant and whimsical works bring a playful, pop-art perspective to the theme. Luke Butler and Jason Mason present a contemporary exploration of identity and the natural world, while Hiroshi Sugimoto‘s serene, minimalist seascapes invite viewers into a contemplative space.
Craig Kucia and Scott Kahn bring a personal touch to their oceanic interpretations, each imbuing their works with a sense of nostalgia and dreamlike qualities. The exhibition also highlights the iconic bold and provocative drawings of Raymond Pettibon, who captures the raw energy and cultural significance of surfing.
This exhibition offers a multifaceted exploration of the ocean’s influence on art and culture, inviting audiences to experience the deep connection between humanity and the sea through the eyes of some of the most influential contemporary artists.
