Please join us Friday, September 1st for our First Friday Opening Reception for ‘Sans Brushes’ a solo exhibition by artist Stu Chait.

Show Statement:
I am of the belief of “what if instead of should be…” when someone says “think outside the box,” I reply “expand the box.”

“Sans Brushes” is a compilation of works, studies and investigations both 2d and 3d that speak that same language. I do not want my hand through a brush to alter or force the paint and intentions of any of my works. I want the pigments through their interaction with one another and the substrate to determine the outcome. So paint colors are introduced in non-traditional methods, and the predictable becomes unpredictable.

The piece itself directs the final result…

Artist Statement:
Everything, whether man-made or natural, has order and structure. How they are respected, modified, or disrupted, influences my artistic journey. I utilize watercolor to invoke emotion from the viewer. I want the viewer to abandon their pre-conceptions and contemplate what I am suggesting.

Through my acts and gestures, non-representational images evolve resulting in celebrations of color and the exploration of surface and texture not found in traditional brushwork. As the painting looks back at the viewer, a conversation is begun and a relationship started, allowing one to mentally perceive what they cannot see with their eyes.
