Twelve months, twelve artworks, each one chosen to capture the atmosphere its month carries. Picking up where we left off, here’s the next stretch of the year.
𝗠𝗮𝘆’𝘀 bold and graphic energy shows up in James Wolanin’s “Walk Don’t Run.” The primary-color grid feels like the season finally shaking off winter for good. Confidence, clean lines and a little bit of strut.
𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲’𝘀 warm nostalgia lives in Geoffrey Gersten’s “One Day Service.” A candy-colored sign against a cloudless blue sky is basically summer’s opening day. We imagine this as a scene you’d pull over for on the first road trip of the year.
𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆’𝘀 full, unhurried bloom comes through in Jylian Gustlin’s “Fibonacci 525.” Circles scattered like confetti or wildflowers across the canvas, capturing that peak-summer feeling when everything is out and open and a little bit louder.
𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁’𝘀 patient pace is held in America Martin’s “Watching Bird Gather Twig.” A gentle, unhurried moment that mirrors the last slow days of summer. Days are starting to feel shorter and yet nothing feels like it needs to be rushed.
