Churchill is the Grand Prize awardee from Silvermine’s 70th A•ONE exhibition. His work addresses issues of the digital age in a postmodern world. He infuses a satirical humor that is fueled by a certain ennui attributed to modern boredom and existentialism; an artistic take on absurdism. His body of work shows expressive, intimate portraits that tell very poignant stories of loneliness and anxiety, yet offer a hopeful reminder of our shared experiences.
The issues and stories from Churchill’s exhibit feel especially pertinent in this historical moment. In the shadow of an ongoing pandemic, many of us may find ourselves in an uncertain phase of life. For these reasons, the presence of art feels critical for us to look inward and reflect on the nature of our own reality and the possibilities of a certain future.
