Romer Young Gallery is pleased to present HERE ALL ALONG, a virtual group exhibition opening Thursday, July 21st and on view through Saturday, September 4th.

Whispering to us from exhibitions past, HERE ALL ALONG presents the work of seven longtime gallery artists: Elise Ferguson, Joseph Hart, Pamela Jorden, Jean-François Lauda, Kirk Stoller, Ryan Wallace and Nancy White. Curated from archives, HERE ALL ALONG invites the viewer to take a nuanced approach to the indeterminate and allow for the ineffable experience of beautiful abstraction.

“As symbol, or as the structuring of symbols, art can render intelligible -- or at least visible, at least discussable -- those wilderness regions which philosophy has abandoned and those hazardous terrains where science's tools do not fit. I mean the rim of knowledge where language falters; and I mean all those areas of human experience, feeling, and thought about which we care so much and know so little: the meaning of all we see before us, of our love for each other, and the forms of freedom in time, and power, and destiny, and all whereof we imagine: grace, perfection, beauty, and the passage of all materials to thoughts, and of all ideas to forms.” - Anne Dillard

Everywhere we look we see evidence of those wilderness regions and the way artists bring them into plain sight. Ferguson explores the beauty of geometry, color and line; Hart intuitively dances between choreographed and happenstance gestures; Jorden colorfully plays with light, movement and time; Stoller quietly alluded to the subtlety of balance and the certainty of impermanence; Lauda chases the fugitive quality of marks and the residual traces of images; Wallace perpetuates the cycle of creation and destruction; and White engages a range of temperatures and sensations, suggesting surprisingly expansive space. These artists find inspiration and draw from the world’s constants - light, form, line, space, balance, movement, time, regeneration -  giving physical shape to the phenomenological experience of living in this place, here.

Together these seven artists offer the possibility for the visible shape of things.
