Art on paper has held a significant place in the history of artistic expression, serving not only as a tool for preliminary sketches but also as a revered medium for finished works. Historically, it has democratized art, making it more accessible to creators and audiences alike, and encouraging broader experimentation with styles and ideas. "Beyond the Surface: The Power of Paper" showcases how 15 gallery artists continue to reinvent and reinterpret paper within their creative practices, reflecting historical influences alongside modern trends. While paper serves as the foundational element, the artistry of drawing, painting, and printmaking takes center stage, capturing moments of beauty, complexity, and emotion, and offering a fresh perspective and appreciation for the skill and imagination required to transform a simple sheet of paper into a work of profound impact and enduring beauty.
