DRISHTI: A Concentrated Gaze

A group exhibition curated by Elizabeth Heskin and Patricia Spergel and presented in collaboration with the NURTUREart Registry of Artists and Curators.

UBS 1285 Ave of the Americas Art Gallery, between 51st & 52nd streets, NYC

Drishti is a Sanskrit word that comes from yoga. The practice of drishti is a gazing technique that develops concentration and teaches you to see the world as it really is. In yoga, drishti is a point of focus where the gaze rests during a posture and meditation practice--gazing outward while bringing awareness inward. This is very much like what an artist does when they get into the flow of their work. This is an open-ended theme but the unifying link among the thirty artists selected for the show is that there is a clear sense of intuition and mindfulness to the exhibited work as opposed to a more calculated or politically motivated agenda.
