Fontanelle Gallery is pleased to present Autumn Sweater, a group show featuring pencil drawings on paper by artists from Toronto, Vancouver BC, New York, and Portland.
O autumn, how you roll in and comfort us. There is nothing like pulling our favorite sweaters out of storage. Memories of fallen leaves, riding in the back of pickup trucks, bonfires and blankets comfort us and warm the heart. Casual. Relaxed. Remembering years gone by, days long since over.
We are aching with nostalgia for high school football games that we never attended. We always skipped the games to ride around in cars with friends and loiter at playgrounds with skateboards and contraband. Thanksgiving gatherings back home with moms in aprons, pies, casseroles, children and dogs in the yard, followed by a weekend of leftovers and sleepovers. We want to return to the warmth of learning together, celebrating the home team, street crews that don't quit, family and friends cheering at the sidelines, and truly radical bro-downs everywhere!
Waxing nostalgic on these heartwarming days of yesteryear, we invoke the warm, intimate feeling that pencil on paper brings to ye olde heart. The smell of the softest, darkest graphite along with the spine tingling scratch of a sharp mechanical pencil. Bring us your pencil marks, fine and thick, black onyx and steely gray, as we fall into fall, the coziest season.
Participating artists include Dana Dart-McLean, Mark Delong, Hollie Dzama, Jess Fogel, Nicole Georges, Jess Hirsch, Denise Kupferschmidt, Jason Overby, Dawn Riddle, Suzanne Sattler, Suzannah Sinclair, and Josh Slater.
