WITHIN REACH

Jay Samit

Created June 10, 2020

Day 91 - Liberty for all is something we as a society must strive for. Her guiding light is still Within Reach.

From exhibition America Disrupted, featuring a series of watercolors painted during the Covid-19 quarantine. At once a record of the artist’s emotional response to our current era, it is also a time Jay Samit found himself conflicted about his nation’s history. Part therapeutic, part social commentary, Samit’s palette reveals the fissures in American society further exposed by this unsettling period.
