Molly English-Bowers, the Editor-In-Cheif of the Syracuse New Times, stepped foot in Delavan Art Gallery for the first time on Monday morning this week. When asked what it was about this show in particular that appealed to her, Molly replied that she felt "The Human Condition" was a subject she could write about, as opposed to a show of abstracts.
It seems this exhibit is more accessible to a general audience. "Everyone’s reality is different but for one common thread: We are all human beings, subject to affliction, triumph, love, hunger, oppression and death," Molly writes. What does that mean for us? If you know someone who doesn't know much about art but is interested, this would be a good show to bring them to.
Molly's message comes through loud and clear, "...we must consider the day-to-day existence some of our fellow earth-dwellers endure—it’s not all Starbucks, SUVs and cable television. If The Human Condition achieves one goal (although the exhibit’s power is in its multidimensionality), it is for the middle-class, Central New York viewer to rethink how bad they have it."
Two quick corrections...
1. In the paragraph towards the end that starts "And while it may seem that Ryan’s oils don’t quite fit the show’s theme..." the name "Ryan" should actually be "Finch." Stephen Ryan creates watercolors and William Finch creates oils.
2. The website at the end is incorrectly listed as www.delavancenter.com but the gallery's website is actually www.delavanartgallery.com.
