"Art is a reflection of the human condition" — Alexander Shundi

We all react to art - its symbols, emotion and beauty. Sometimes, the art speaks to us, and sometimes it seems mysterious.

The Reflectionist exhibitions create a dialogue between the artists and the viewers in order to explore a basic question about art, such as "What is the artist thinking?" The artists address the question, and viewers are invited to analyze and comment on the art and the writings. The resulting dialogues are published on this web site. This approach enables both the artist and the viewer to reflect on the artistic process and their responses to a work of art, and to share their insights.

The Reflectionist artists range from beginners to professional with many members having a history together of more than ten years. The group is part of Arts on the Lake in Kent Lakes, NY, and is inspired by Alexander Shundi's teaching, and Susan Ferri's workshops. The Reflectionists have formed a supportive artistic community that shares information, techniques, encouragement, friendship and fun.
