A group show featuring eight artists from both Edgewater Gallery locations

A state of “solitude” can be felt in different ways. One can crave time alone, and revel in the tranquility of the absence of people and the usual commotion of life. However, one can experience solitude as a loneliness that is unwelcome and oppressive. As we journey through life many of us will experience solitude in both ways.

In our first large group show of the 2024 season eight Edgewater artists have interpreted the theme of Solitude. Some describe feelings of being alone in nature, while others experience the solitude of their studios and their process of creation. Some see both joy and melancholy in the vast landscape when it envelopes them. In the isolation of the studio artists describe feeling liberated and unencumbered by outside influence but also at times craving connections with people and the outside world. The collections from each of the eight artists for “Solitude” will evoke a range of emotions from the viewer, perhaps helping the observer to better understand their definition of the word.
