Summer Highlights features a curated selection of historical and contemporary works engaged with the conceptual and physical representations of summer. Ghostly coastal scenes, saturated interiors laden with symbolism, and mercurial landscapes play off each other to produce an exhibition that explores the multidimensional layers of a moment in time. The works in Summer Highlights probe the tension between the immediate and fleeting. Rooted in a celebration of the season, this exhibition explores the symbolic and metaphorical associations of summer.
