The Modern Cape

Three artists write a love letter to Cape Cod, marrying tradition with the future through painting.

A Love Letter to Cape Cod

In The Modern Cape, artists Josh Wald, Jiyoung Park, and Jeremy Wagner write a 'love letter' to Cape Cod. The exhibition marries the old and new, a virtual dance with history, a history being written in present time. The three artists showcase their use of proprietary painting techniques as they demonstrate possible pathways to the evolution of the Cape Cod painting style. Their work is both a salute to the traditional style that historically comes from this area, as well as an embrace of the future.
