Tyler Park Presents is pleased to announce All That Spring Promises, the gallery’s first group exhibition featuring the work of Ross Caliendo, Louis Heilbronn, Daniel Ingroff, Angie Jennings, Anabel Juárez, Christina Mesiti, Paul Pescador, and Evan Whale. The exhibition will open on February 6, 2021 and be on view until March 20, 2021.
All That Spring Promises serves as a precursor to the season of spring, which will run through the meteorological beginning of spring (March 1) and end on March 20, 2021, the almanac's astrological first day of spring. Through various mediums and artists of varied practices, the exhibition includes elements of flora, animals, the body, and mysticism in reference to the season, which has long been associated with new hope, new beginnings, and inspiration. From this, All That Spring Promises seeks to point ahead that better days are on the horizon with new life and new possibilities, as winter succumbs to spring.
