JANUS

Curated by Katharine Dufault

With 14 contemporary artists

January 9 - March 2nd, 2025

Opening Reception: Saturday January 11 4-6

Susan Eley Fine Art Hudson, NY

Janus is the double-faced Roman god who looks backward and forward simultaneously. This duality evokes the idea of being on threshold, standing at the entrance to a portal between worlds. It suggests a moment of transition, where the boundaries between realities blur, offering a glimpse into magical realms. It is, perhaps, and opportunity to perceive or even embrace something extraordinary, a fleeting moment of connection to the mysterious and the sublime.
