Gallery 6
Beyond Description
Sugarlift
August 4 - September 2, 2022
The exhibition presents 18 painters in dialogue with the visible world, seeking to translate felt perception into paint. For them, meaning is located in the form itself, derived and generated in the relationships between the artist, the motif, and the painting. Each painter sees the world through their own particular lens, yet all ask themselves how it is possible to bring colored mud to life, and what that might say about the world we live in, and what it means to be human.
Sugarlift was established in 2014 in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood and has since moved to Chelsea. The mission of the gallery has remained consistent: to help more artists create sustainable careers by connecting them with a larger audience of collectors.
Over the years, the gallery has evolved, embracing technology and pursuing new ways for people to engage with and collect artwork. They are unafraid to change the status quo as long as it benefits artists and dignifies their work.
