"H3," new works by Duy Huynh, Susan Hall & Howard Hersh
Duy Huynh's symbolic and contemplative acrylic paintings reflect the experience of geographic and cultural displacement.
In her latest works Susan Hall is exploring contrasts. This series examines the tension between the need for private reflection and the desire for acceptance and affirmation.
Howard Hersh, from San Francisco, creates mixed-media abstract paintings that he likens to Zen Koans, which are parables and sayings that are pared down to their essence.
June 8 - July 1
From Nature: Gerard Erley, Eleanor Miller
"From Nature" is an exploration of the artist's inspiration derived from nature and the landscape around us. Two artists have been selected who both have found profound inspiration from the natural world, yet the resulting paintings are dramatically different. Gerard Erley's landscapes appear to be realist depictions of rural landscapes in the vein of 19th century greats such as George Inness.
Eleanor Miller produces painting that represent the polar opposite of the optical reality represented in Gerard Erley's work. Growing up in rural Connecticut on a family farm, Ms. Miller developed a direct connection to the land around her. Combining elements of a primordial landscape, the content and colors of Renaissance painting, and a sense of spirituality inherent in both, Miller's paintings evoke more of an inner landscape, one of the heart and the mind.
July 14 - August 4
"Introducing ..." Megan Lightell
For Nashville artist Megan Lightell, painting is a natural response to land. Raised in a rural community, she sought out the fast-paced life of New York but found it lacking in something she could not describe. Returning to the country, she began to relate to the comfort, mystery, and silence embodied in the landscape. She says of her work, "There is an eternity present in the land that was here before we were, and will continue in its cycles long after we are gone. There is almost a necessary spiritual connection that we have with the land that sustains our very lives, and in the increasingly urban lifestyles that many have adopted, that connection becomes faint and distant. My hope is that through painting I can show appreciation for my environment, in all its starkness and softness, warmth and loneliness."
