Observations of a Still Life
September 27 to December 14
Observations of a Still Life explores the enduring relevance of the still life. Throughout its long history, the genre has remained a fascination for both artists and audiences, as its resonance lies in its ability to reflect the times. In contemporary culture, we’re saturated with information to the point of overload. The artists in this exhibition deftly navigate our chaotic environment, transforming ordinary items into objects of curiosity and, at times, obsession. Often utilizing art historical references to embody the more traditional aspects, contemporary still life artists infuse the picture plane with elements of surprise and cultural reference that warrant reflection and contemplation.
