Curiously Gorey
A group exhibition inviting artists across media to respond to Edward Gorey’s meticulous draftsmanship and elegant, unsettling imagination.
Curiously Gorey invites artists working in all media to engage with the peculiar brilliance of Edward Gorey through interpretation rather than imitation. The exhibition encourages responses to his precision of line, dry theatricality, and ability to render the ordinary faintly disquieting. Submissions may draw on the tension that defines his work—hovering between wit and melancholy, absurdity and restraint—while articulating a distinct artistic voice. The result is a contemporary dialogue with Gorey’s singular sensibility, approached with care, curiosity, and compositional rigor.
