    Pensive States, one of Broadway Gallery’s more compelling recent
    shows featured an impressive roster of internationally-acclaimed
    artists working in a variety of media and styles.

    According to curator Christina Zhang, the exhibition aimed “to
    eliminate the boundaries of memory, history, and geography in order to
    make a state of true contemplation possible.”

    		Pensive States explores the moments of meditation we find alone and in our relationships with nature.
    In the natural environment and in our contactwith the flora and fauna
    of these locales, we question the meaning of our existence, and the
    timelessness of agreater spirit’s creations. The artists in this
    exhibition reveal these themes through a variety of skillful techniques
    and styles that range from Surrealism to Abstraction, Magical Realism,
    and Symbolism to Portraiture.
