Intimacy. It’s a term that encompasses a complex range of relationships and emotions.
We have intimate relationships with children, spouses, friends, and lovers. Many of us feel a keen sense of intimacy with ourselves, with an animal, or with a place that holds special significance. A sense of intimacy could be inspired by music, by a work of art, or by nature.
Although intimacy is universal, it is also a highly individual experience that is – by nature –private and secret. Intimacy can describe a sense of personal space, or of nakedness and unmasking, with layers removed. And although it can feel intense or even tangible, the essence of intimacy – like with many emotions – can be hard to capture.

For its Intimacy exhibit, Confluence Gallery invites artists to create work that encapsulates the uniqueness and universality of intimacy – taking something inherently personal and internal and exploring how it can be shared with the greater world. The gallery welcomes art that’s representational or abstract, two- or three-dimensional, in any medium, and that balances presentation with creative content.
