poster for "Artists and the Natural World" Exhibition

This event has ended.

The artists selected for this show are not the new Audubons, the naturalist painters of the 19th century, or the realist or landscape painters of today. They are not the artists you would expect to associate with the natural world. This exhibition is about those artists whose main body of work is not generally about observant reality. The use of the natural world in their art is marginal, and yet their interest in it is profound. Occasionally, that interest peeks out and takes you by surprise when they draw a realistic tree, sculpt a bird in wood, or make a red rubber rose.
