Experiencing the curation by Tax Collection at SHOWFIELDS feels like taking a fresh breath of air after a long dark winter. The artwork in this ambitious collection is as beautiful as it is deep in meaning and, in some instances, explores some darker psychological challenges we often experience. Being surrounded by immersive and aesthetically stunning projects by leading contemporary artists including Brooke Didonato, Jacob Fisher, Jen Clay, Joey James Salehi, and Slytex Studios is inspiring and energizing. The artists are masterfully brought together in a powerful show by Tax Collection to celebrate the opening of SHOWFIELDS in New York.
