Robin Reynolds | Solo show at CUSP Gallery in Provincetown
We are so thrilled to announce that Robin Reynolds is the recipient of the solo show at CUSP Gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Why was Robin selected?
Robin's colorful and vibrant artwork really checked all the boxes for all three curators. Each piece presented with consistency and cohesive qualities that Robin is known for. The riot of color is perfect for spring coming out of the pandemic. Her process is one that unites abstraction with nature, botany, color, light and celebrates the depth and splendid chaos of the world with vibrant show-stopping excitement. We all have an emotional response when viewing her work and we felt that this impact was perfect for a show in Provincetown at this time. They are attractive also to both women and men, in a community that embraces art to the fullest. Also, they are highly marketable in Provincetown and fit the price point for that market. Her sizes were chosen with care, as it was obvious that she studied the space and selected work that would accommodate the aesthetic of the gallery and its owner. Curtis is a curator that checks the sizes of every piece so he can systematically configure hanging. This was smart on her part to send along work that fit that criteria for wall space. Finally, she has a body of work ready to go, as many artists coming out of the show-less pandemic probably do. Robin has a distinctive reputation for professionalism and has presented her work exactly as asked for.
This trust is so important as we collaborate with a prestigious partner like Curtis Speer.
Julia C R Gray has also earned a big round of applause!
Selection was difficult and the curators decided on Robin Reynolds, but there was one other artist that really stood out to us for many reasons. Timing is everything they say. When we called Robin to tell her the news, we mentioned the work of Julia C R Gray and asked how she felt about featuring this artist in another space in the gallery. We wanted to give her a choice to decline the idea, but Robin graciously embraced the opportunity to invite Julia to have a featured room to show her work. Julia is based in Southern California and is making the trip across country for the show.
Congrats to Julia for accepting this opportunity to collaborate in this way. We are thrilled that her work will be included, as it is Women's Weekend in Provincetown and her sculpture series "SHE, The Power of Protest" really aligns with the events in town that weekend. Both artist's work also beautifully compliment each other. This is going to be one heck of a show!
Thank you also to Curtis Speer, who graciously offered to rearrange his gallery to accommodate featuring Julia's work in another space, separate from the solo show.
We are absolutely fired up for this show.
Congratulations Robin Reynolds for submitting your work and being such a stand-out for the magazine. You elevate all artists associated with your work. Congrats also to Julia and thank you for making a trek across country to be a part of this opportunity. Your work is stunning and incredible in its own right and we are happy to offer a feature spot to you.
Every submission was outstanding. Thank you all for being amazing and an integral part of our community and trusting us with your work. We want to mention a few other artists that absolutely stood strong.
We all agreed that we wished we could have one big show because every artist's work was outstanding.
High honors from all 3 curators, also unanimous (in no order) this round go to: Tatiana Flis, John Pagano, Monica DeSalvo, Patti Kelly, Karen Nunley, Christopher Jeauhn Bayne and Denise Driscoll.
We hope you can make the opening. We are also planning an Elevation Workshop on Sunday morning with mimosas. Details in the works.
