"Luxe" Exhibition

Tria Gallery

poster for "Luxe" Exhibition

This event has ended.

On display will be two large canvases by Franco, along with one large, three mid-sized and two smaller canvases by Satterly.

Satterly and Franco are both drawn to painting realistic images of sumptuous luxury items. The word luxury comes from the Latin word luxus,which relates to excess. It includes the notion of pleasure and indulgence and the connotation of something that is not necessary. "Luxe" goods have captured the imagination and desire of people since the beginning of time, and one cannot help but have a visceral reaction of desire when viewing these exquisite images.

Both Satterly and Franco's paintings are meticulously created and highly realistic. Both are entertaining and thought-provoking, for while the subject matter necessarily raises questions of materialism and conspicuous consumption, the viewer can't help but smile when looking at these items of true and luxurious beauty.
