Passionately championing self-taught, disabled, neurodivergent and overlooked artists from around the world, the Jennifer Lauren Gallery is showcasing all the artists the Gallery represents in one display. Following its launch in London in 2023 at Darbyshire Ltd, Why We Linger features a diverse mixture of drawings, paintings, embroidery and ceramics. It will form the main exhibition for Site Festival 2024 at SVA in Stroud.
Taking its title from an automatic drawing by Chris Neate, who says of the piece that people often “leave their imprint or essence on the present,” we would like you to linger over the works, observing the finer details, the delicate marks, the often-concealed messages that feature: in short, to feel the essence of the art.
You will see that Jennifer selects artists whose works often weave stories that evoke emotions and trigger heartfelt responses, and by lingering by each piece, you get to share in these unique and informative experiences that Jennifer so treasures.
