About the Exhibition: DREAM Dreams consist of a series of thoughts, images and sensations during sleep. Psychologists often look at dreams as a connection to the unconscious mind and have analyzed them for insight into a patient’s hidden desires and motives. Surrealist artists have sought to channel dreams as a means to unlock the power of the imagination. The works selected by juror James Bacchi address the broad spectrum of dreams, from abstraction to narrative to surrealism.”

Juror’s Statement: Welcome to DREAM… From pipe dreams to sweaty nightmares, I found myself engulfed in the subconscious imaginings of a multitude of artist's work. For DREAM, each artist presented their interpretations of subconscious, one off and sometimes reoccurring remembrances. Much like dreams themselves, this collective body of work ran the gamut in regard to subject matter, media and style. While jurying and making final selections, I found myself consciously directed by the execution of each work, and its final outcome in relation to the artist’s description of the dream itself. “You may say I’m a dreamer. But, I’m not the only one.” Good night; sweet dreams… - James Bacchi, Gallerist/Co-Owner, ArtHaus Gallery & Consulting
