SWIM Gallery is getting ready to open their latest group exhibition SHARKS, which will feature work from over 30 incredible artists. Like sharks navigating the ocean landscape, artists are beautiful and majestic, yet ruthless. They embody both the light and dark sides of perception. An artist must be strong, persistent, and never be let down by denial or failure; simultaneously, steady and consistent when producing work. The artists of “SHARKS” display these characteristics. They are strong and hold their ground in a competitive art ecosystem where various institutions are all out to survive.
