Taking its title from an automatic drawing by Chris Neate, who says of the piece that people often “leave their imprint or essence on the present,” we would like you to linger over the works, observing the finer details, the delicate marks, the often-concealed messages that feature: in short, to feel the essence of the art.
You will see that Jennifer selects artists whose works often weave stories that evoke emotions and trigger heartfelt responses, and by lingering by each piece, you get to share in these unique and informative experiences that Jennifer so treasures.
Featured artists: Kate Bradbury, Joyce Davies, Shinya Fujii, Catherine Garrigue, Daniel Gonçalves, Hakunogawa, Naoki Hakuta, Miguel Ángel Hernando, Jesse James Nagel, Carlo Keshishian, Norimitsu Kokubo, Akio Kontani, Pradeep Kumar, Cara Macwilliam, Margaret Mousseau, Mohammed M'rabet, Chris Neate, Yuka Nohda, Masao Obata, Makoto Okawa, Valerie Potter, CJ Pyle, Nobuo Sasaki, Shinichi Sawada, Candice Swallow, Yoshihiro Watanabe, and Terence Wilde.
