Tyger Tyger Gallery is pleased to present The Sun Touches Everything, an exhibition curated by artist Danielle Winger featuring over 60 works from 15 different national and international artists. Following the opening reception on September 30th from 5pm – 8pm, the exhibition will be on display until November 30th during regular gallery hours.

“I have known Danielle Winger since 2012 and have followed the trajectory of her creative output and career. When I asked her earlier this year if she would be interested in curating a themed group exhibition, she told me she already had an idea she had been dreaming of-and so this show was born,” says Mira Gerard, Director of Tyger Tyger Gallery.

The Sun Touches Everything presents artwork from emerging to mid-career, national, and international artists representing a range of points of view. Bridging abstraction and representation, this exhibition considers the sun and its’ light as a signifier for numerous human experiences and emotional states, featuring works that are vivid, sensual, and evocative.

Danielle Winger writes: “In David Utiger’s paintings, the sun works with quiet determination to give light to untouched and wild parts of Appalachia. Krista Dedrick-Lai’s neon palette both reveals and obscures the path forward as a mother cradles her child, illuminated from within as she wades through a swirling vortex of painterly darkness. Ric Santon’s sweetly nostalgic work transports us into the back seat of our most worn-down roads, forehead pressed to the window, tracing messages onto a glass dripping with condensation. Nancy Friedland’s paintings masterfully delineate the darkness by placing the sun off-frame, acting as a siren, calling its lone swimmer deeper into the water. While deceptively simple, what ties these and other works together is a collective approach that is frontally and unapologetically delightful.”
