Portland, OR. – Jeffrey Thomas Fine Art is pleased to present this provocative and engaging group exhibition “BEAUTY IN THE AGE OF INDIFFERENCE”. This show has been curated by Gallery Director Jeffrey Thomas from the work of over 24 artists, each who explores the concept of “beauty” differently.
Drawing from artists across the USA, each individual work has been selected by Mr. Thomas for its distinct relationship with what the ancient Greeks called “” and which we call “Beauty”, in all its manifestations: by shape, by form, by idea, by color, by designation, by popular demand.
This exhibition both celebrates and challenges our notions of what is beautiful, and what role beauty plays in a contemporary society obsessed and distracted by new technologies which have obliterated old ways of doing, and seeing, things. These disruptive patterns of behavior, and our ability to constantly need to upgrade and adapt to them have taken us away from traditional appreciation of how important beauty is in our lives.
