"Summer Break" organized by Matt Goldberg (online exhibition)

About the Exhibition

A ceramic figure, lying flat, arms and large hands outstretched, five antennae-like protrusions extending from its head, without facial features, glazed in goldenrod.
Sun-soaked characters, bizarre talismans, hammock relaxation, sensuous artworks that feel like sweat in my mustache - Summer Break contains alternating greens and yellows, a fast, cramped car and a deconstructed stoplight, rounded forms with exaggerated antennae, and energetic patterns of summer heatwaves. These committed artists bring melty, hungry, passion to their work for us to devour quickly like a popsicle melting down your pinky.
