Exploring physical and metaphysical ideas of illumination, “Resplendency” gathers artists who go beyond utilizing contemporary light technologies as their medium to make statements on what conceptually light references within today’s society. From LEDs to light boxes to phosphorous pigments to neon to projection - the works in this exhibit offer different renditions of what meaning is latent in having light, giving light, reflecting light, finding light and being enlightened.

The ways artists express themselves creatively is traced back to their childhood. From constructing cities with blocks to banging on pots to making tree forts to devising strategies to win games - an artist begins a life of creating with curiosity, wonder and unencumbered imagination which is developed through "PLAY". One can only hope these traits are not abandoned with youth and instead mature into a distinct artistic voice.
In <I PLAY I> at ConcentArt, installations embody how sophisticated curiosity, wonder and unencumbered imagination can in essence, become ageless. A futuristic, miniature city is daintily ordered and delicately planned to cast a societal shadow. Sculptures whimsically move and generate sounds in reaction to someone walking nearby to grab attention. Peeking one's head inside a suspended boat divulges the view from the hideaway's perspective. Moving cans of "fodder" creates a panorama of an environment nearing extinction... <I PLAY I> reminds us we are never too old to remember what we've learned and to dream bigger than that.
