The gallery shares, “Gold is an intuitively consummate theme for the island of Palm Beach.  Our GOLD SHOW will consider how our associations to the material conjure the most fundamental drives for luxury, social prestige and hierarchy as well as spiritual sublimity and largess. New narratives are born as the artists consider how this relatively inert element rouses and
speaks to our unconscious; indeed, a chief concern of the artists is the alchemical
potency of gold when it interacts with the human psyche. The implementation of gold
into art – how it becomes a base, or layer for a specific piece – somehow recontextualizes
the work, transmutes it or elevates it.”

The GOLD SHOW is on view from February 11th-25th at Brintz Galleries, Palm Beach.
Opening reception will be Thursday, February 11th from 6-8 PM.  If you have an interest to preview the works, please contact: Beth McNeill-Muhs, McNeill Art Group: mcneillartgroup@mac.com;  631-838-4843
