"How often do we reconsider our ability to give and receive love? For Brooklyn-based artist Scott Albrecht, the time came in 2023 when he sustained a traumatic brain injury before his solo exhibition, The Shadow of the Sun, at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City. In the wake of this life-altering experience, Albrecht began looking more sincerely at the levels of connection and care found between people and how often we may pass up opportunities to express affection."
"In his new solo show with Hashimoto Conteporary in San Francisco, What Holds Us, Albrecht questions our default mode of interacting with the world, pushing viewers to move beyond quick consumption to a space of introspection and connection. These new works highlight how personal experiences can lead to further moments of connection and relation-building: an individual's interpretation of each phrase acts as a catalyst for understanding shared vulnerabilities, bridging one personal experience into another."
Scott Albrecht sustained a traumatic brain injury in 2023 before his solo exhibition, prompting deep reflection on connection, care, and missed opportunities to express affection. His work combines painting and woodworking with a graphic visual language grounded in typography and abstracted messages. Abstraction transforms conventional typography into a meditative dialogue centered on shared humanity. Forms are reconstructed into meticulous three-dimensional spaces that encourage engagement and prompt navigation of meaning through color, form, and sentiment rather than denotation. The What Holds Us exhibition urges viewers to move beyond quick consumption toward introspection, relational decoding, and recognition of linguistic porosity and shared vulnerabilities.
