These four artists create the spirit of the show by capturing themes of identity and place in their paintings. Working in a similar manner-bound by a refined application of their chosen medium-these four painters examine their spiritual, emotional and social position in society today. With three of the artists working in Brooklyn and one in San Francisco (Michelle Blade), this exhibition will be the first featuring all four artists together. "They are summating-that is, each contributing to the next" as Ram Dass put it in his 1971 book, Be Here Now.
