In January of 2024, Denver's Gallery 1261 proudly presents a special showcase of contemporary artworks curated by Rose Fredrick in partnership with The ArtSol.
"Contemporary Realism Now" ventures into the realm of Realism, pushing the boundaries of what it means to depict reality in art. This exhibit doesn't merely capture the surface of objects and people; it delves into the emotions, stories, and complexities that lie beneath. The artists on display have masterfully combined traditional techniques with modern influences, resulting in works that are both timeless and current. These pieces portray subjects from various walks of life, embracing diversity and challenging preconceived notions. The exhibition's overarching theme is to celebrate the nuanced experiences of the human condition, urging viewers to contemplate the profound narratives encapsulated within each brushstroke. By juxtaposing traditional forms with contemporary concepts, "Contemporary Realism Now" creates a thought-provoking discourse on the evolving nature of reality itself.
