| Summary: | The improbable pairing of Holly Gordon, photographer from Bay Shore, Long Island, and Ward Hooper, painter from Northport, Long Island, is a symbiotic match. Their artistic relationship is an affirmation of the human spirit in an age where most can't seem to detach from objects. These two contemporary artists discovered a serendipitious connection to the earlier American artistic and personal alliance of Arthur Dove and Helen Toor, whose work was inspired by the same Long Island locations. The past thus joined the present, deepening Gordon and Hooper's bond, both personally and geographically. In Gordon and Hooper's intimate relationship there is a sense of empathy, connection, and mutual discovery that is invincible. Ward Hooper and Holly Gordon understand that the meaning of their journey extends beyond themselves. Their camaraderie and brilliant exposition beckons others to do the same and thereby reach their own heights in art and life. |
