On view through May 22
~With works ranging from gesturally abstract to hyper-realistic, “Flashes of Light: Cycles of Life viewed through The Maslow Collection” aims to supply the viewer with a look at life from birth to death. The exhibition takes into consideration the renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow’s seminal “Hierarchy of Needs” theory, which traces stages of life as they relate to ‘Physiological Needs, Safety and Security, Love and Belonging, Self Esteem, and Self Actualization.’ By connecting Maslow’s Hierarchy and his impact on the study of human development to work from The Maslow Collection, various psychological interpretations of each artwork become possible.
Featured Artists: Jennifer Bartlett, Lousia Chase, Y.J. Cho, Robert Cu***ng, Jack Goldstein, Nancy Hayes, Karla Knight, Lois Lane, Will Mentor, Ellen Phelan
