Dutton presents The Enclave, a group exhibition of artists across generations whose works distill a sanctity and containment enclosed within structure, form, or vessels - baring what is outwards and intimating what lies within.

An enclave is a private, intimate, sheltered space and an instinctual anchor of the mind and spirit, a place to unfurl ones imaginings and longing, an observational touchstone, a built-up accumulation of materials and raw conduit of the artists' interior pyschic space. The potent structures also encapsulate a necessary and intentional labor-steeped ritual pursuit of making, the site of creating, and how one finds containment inside a picture.

Dutton shows contemporary and self-taught, visionary and neuro-divergent artists in New York. This exhibition brings together a through-line of painting, works on paper, and ceramic sculpture that have a kinship in varying degrees of pared back approaches - soot and spit, pulp painting, carving a knife into clay and applying delicate experimental glazes, intricately cutting away drawn paper over long months, virtuosic use of a ball-point pen on scraps of paper brought home by family members, and chalky brush.
