on view from november 11th until december 11th, 2011, 'homeroom' is a collection from twenty
different artists who have reinterpreted an art work from their childhood in their current day style.
hosted by subtext gallery in san diego, california, and guest curated by christina conway, the exhibition
includes a wide variety of mediums with contributions from los angeles-based audrey kawasaki,
canadian illustrator nimit malavia, and chinese artist joey leung ka-yin.

often depicting a dreamscape of mystical creatures and fairytale-based protagonists, the original drawings
revisit a more innocent age of creation when imagination met naivety, and crayons were the only necessary
tools. the highly personal collection of old and new pieces provides an insightful look into the development
of the artists, as well as an endearing attempt at rediscovering the nostalgia of youth.

What a wonderful idea. I love the concept of going back and exploring a more innocent time. Makes me want to rewrite my old childhood storybooks...I wonder how they would turn out now.
