About the Exhibition:
Someday features dozens of paintings, a site-specific installation, a large-scale mural, and a new book of writings by Mark Warren Jacques. The work explores the complex tension between the artist’s optimistic “be here now” attitude, and the ever-shifting “Someday” of his deepest desires and dreams.
The paintings in this collection are vibrant, abstract representations of human potential. They capture the energy of anticipation, the arc of emotions, and the exhilaration of progress through life. The large-scale mural serves as a monumental tribute to the dreams that drive us forward, with one circle filling another, and another, and another… just as each day we become new versions of our past selves—circular works in perpetual progress.
Additionally a new book of poems aptly titled “Someday” compliments the visual work with written reflections on the nature of ambition, love, death, the fear of stagnation, and the bittersweet reality that our goals often shift as we approach them. It’s a meditation on the human tendency to always look ahead, finding motivation in the promise of “Someday.”
