Opening tomorrow - Friday, May 12th, 2017 - at Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, Arizona is the exceptional group exhibition “Flourish,” which takes a look at the burgeoning New Contemporary art movement and is curated by Thinkspace Gallery.
Thinkspace explains, “largely self-supported and community-driven since the 90s, the New Contemporary Art Movement has
been steadily gaining in international recognition over the past decade and is now widely recognized as
both the largest and longest running art movement in history. Inclusive and diverse, several styles, media,
and exhibition platforms fall within the Movement’s now widely cast net. The potential of representation
inspires these artists to draw from popular and countercultural sources like music, illustration, comics,
design, tattoo culture, skate culture and the like, looking to the outside world rather than to the more self referential
gestures that typify that of fine art.”
Artists in the exhibition include (above): Esao Andrews, Aaron Nagel, Curiot, David Rice, Linnea Strid, 1010, Lauren Brevner, Michael Reeder, Alex Garant and Scott Listfield plus many more.
