About the Exhibition “Home” In 2020, the word, “home” assumed great significance as a place of shelter from the corona virus pandemic.

Members of families scattered all over the globe came home to seek safety and comfort. The home became a place of refuge and a trap, a place to protect loved ones and a place that incubated and spread the deadly virus within its walls. Those who shared tight living spaces with roommates found themselves having to adjust to confined spaces, annoying lifestyle differences and lack of privacy. Those living alone had to cope with isolation, loneliness and boredom. The concept of “home” as a manifestation of a private place in a world of public places has been turned upside down by COVID-19, which has squeezed public places into the home via technology like Zoom.

Juror Statement Susan Aulik Owner, The Fourth Wall Gallery Oakland, California I began the process of selecting work for "Home" with my own ideas and associations of what that very loaded word means. After viewing such a large number of pieces of artwork, each quite a few times, I realized that my preconceived ideas were in the process of being greatly expanded.

I assumed "home" would have an emotional component - sad, nostalgic, sentimental. Oftentimes, it did, but, sometimes, "home" was more intellectual, stark and analytical. "Home" could be a piece of artwork expressing grief for a loved one who recently passed away, but it could also be animals around a dinner table, complete with dress clothes, crowns and impeccable manners. Home could be fantastical: Mom floating in through the air in an otherwise ordinary living room; a house can have feet. The interpretation of "home" was as varied as the number of artists who created them. Home is a cardboard box. It's a glass toilet plunger. And, yes, it can still be a favorite easy chair. Home could take risks or be gently traditional, but the common and powerful thread is that home is from the heart. Authentic. And highly personal. No two homes are alike. A powerful piece of artwork created to express "home" is meant to please and satisfy the artist first. If it pleases the viewer, all the better. And this viewer was very, very pleased and, furthermore, inspired.

About the Juror: Susan Aulik, has been involved in art her entire life - as a painter, a collector, entrepreneur and volunteer. As founder and director of The Fourth Wall, opening the gallery is a dream come true and a culmination of her talents, background and experience. Susan Aulik received a Master's degree in advertising and marketing from Northwestern University and Master's degree in art from California State University, Sacramento. She was the founder and owner of San Francisco-based advertising agency, Aulik & Associates, Inc. Her artwork is shown in galleries throughout California. www.fourthwallart.com @thefourthwallgallery
