"Nature Morte" Exhibition
The Horticultural Society of New York
This event has ended.
This exhibition highlights three contemporary artists who utilize the still life as a central part of their process, honoring and subverting the traditions of the genre while exploring how photography has influenced it. Sharon Core takes her inspiration from art-historical still lifes, creating uncanny facsimiles of hyperrealistic paintings. Miranda Lichtensteinfrequently uses the still life format as a means to examine and deconstruct the photographic process. In the multi-disciplinary work of Corin Hewitt, the still life represents the end-product and the documentation of an experiment and performance.
