Flag Bearers is a group exhibition of artworks featuring flags and flag-like motifs at The Gallery at Still River Editions in Danbury, CT by artists Jennie Carr, Keisha Rollins, Roxy Savage, Mark Savoia, and Rita Valley. Some of the artworks depict literal flags, and others are less direct and open to interpretation. Included are fine art prints of paintings by Jennie Carr (CT) and Keisha Rollins (NY), photographs by Roxy Savage (CT) and Mark Savoia (CT), and original mixed media artwork by Rita Valley (CT).
This exhibition is a springboard for contemplating our relationship to flags as one of life’s most-encountered, most-repeated, most-imitated design objects. Flags can represent and challenge nations and causes, call to a collective consciousness, or be deeply personal. Some are instantly recognizable, and can evoke both patriotism and protest, both pride and shame, with complicated histories and emotions to unpack and unravel. Others have symbolic meanings known only to their creators, and yet their iconography reaches for something universal.
Flag Bearers opens on Saturday, July 8th with a public reception with the artists from 2 pm – 4 pm with light refreshments.
Regular hours 8:30 am – 5 pm M-F. Free. Please note: the Gallery is closed on weekends and is will be closed July 31 – August 1 for vacation.
