After Sargent

Artist Reception: Saturday, November 23, 2–4pm

South Shore Arts presents After Sargent, November 22, 2024–February 22, 2025 at the Center for Visual & Performing Arts.

This exhibit will explore how contemporary painters, draftspersons, and sculptors have carried on, challenged, furthered, and broken away from the tradition that John Singer Sargent unknowingly left with his approach to representation during the French period of Belle Epoque. Sargent’s methods and themes with oil painting not only struck a chord with the Edwardian elite at the turn of the century but have endured throughout the last century. Since his passing 100 years ago, artists have been inviting and creating new interpretations and perspectives to his wider legacy and methods, challenging what it means to paint, draw, or sculpt the human figure and beyond.

Featuring the work of several local and national artists who have either followed in the traditions that Sargent paved or have elected to deviate into new modalities of representational artwork. These works will offer viewers opportunity to reflect on how an artist’s legacy carries on and changes as they compare and contrast the effects their work has had amongst contemporary artists.
