Bill Conger: "lesser blue"

Bill Conger’s new artwork is often an exploration of refinement that is physical, emotional, and grandiose, and paired with a rawness where process confronts memory and myth, both belabored by today’s societal expectations and those worthy of close examination.
Conger’s work is characterized by his conversational engagement coupled with his casual accumulation of information through objects. His immediacy to process his findings is focused on urban life and how we relate to it. With awareness of his evolution and growth, change is the result of combining past processes and re-interpretation of his personal experiences, always with a nod to the present. To move forward, there must be an acceptance of the permutation of common objects. As viewers, we must acknowledge that progress is accomplished discreetly, and we must embrace the difference.
