- This section seeks to look at
diversity from within- from within the prevailing western Euro-American art canon.
The artists featured here came to art through non traditional means, including blue
collar/industrial and scientific engineering. Shunned from the established artworld,
these artists are creating important and unique works that often take in their uncommon
backgrounds.
As viewers of our web site know,
Amit May Fine Arts' goal is to exhibit and promote art from diverse cultures.
Serving as an alternative to the mainstream western artworld, we have featured artists and
cultures from around the globe. This section of western Euro-American art serves to
reinforce and expand on the concept of cultural diversity. First there is the notion
of not excluding any group of quality artists. Second, and perhaps more
subtle, by having a western art section alongside many categories of different cultures,
we elevate the weight of those cultures. So unlike most museums and galleries which
exhibit 80% plus western artists and a small sampling of other cultures, we are turning
that ratio around and featuring western art as one of many art cultures. |
