Trying to find a way to avoid the politically divisive atmosphere for artists at the moment is artist Walter Lobyn Hamilton’s latest exhibition “Narrative Not Included” at Long-Sharp Gallery, Indianapolis.Hamilton’s “Narrative Not Included” is his first solo exhibition at Long-Sharp Gallery and will feature approximately a dozen new and different works by this emerging vinyl record artist. It addresses the issues faced by artists creating works in a politically charged era. For most jobs, a person’s skill, not his or her opinions, serves as the basis for that person’s success or failure. But for artists, whose inspiration often comes from social and political issues, their skill may take a backseat to the messages derived from the work. And, in an era where political dialog is often both combustible and divisive, an artist working up the fine art ladder is faced with special challenges. That is, an artist’s success or failure in the world of fine art can be impacted by the opinions and emotions expressed in the work rather than the mastery of the work itself. The exhibition is on view through March 30, 2018, at Long-Sharp Gallery Indianapolis, 1 North Illinois, Suite A, Indianapolis, IN 46204.For details, visit: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide/long-sharp-gallery/overview Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
