Critic's Picks: 'Implicit Explicit'

‘The show is rife with tensions between old and new, banality and wonder; and puts a thematic emphasis on materiality, feminism, and environmental destruction… exhibitions like this underscore how materials and techniques traditionally associated with functional or folk art can amplify meaning and symbolism.’

Pat Steir’s Blue Period

‘The thing is, I only wanted to be an artist. I only wanted to do this work in my life. Nothing else. I saw anything that stood in my way as an inconvenience. When I started out being one of few women in the men’s art world, I saw those 9,000 men and two other women as inconveniences. I said, 'Oh, that’s inconvenient. They’re in my way.''
