The Modern Landscape Opening: Thursday, June 7th 6-9:00
I am super excited to be a part of this exhibit along with many other great artists. Join us in the RedLine Milwaukee gallery for the opening of The Modern Landscape. A Juried Group Exhibition, celebrating contemporary perspectives of landscape artwork. 1422 North 4th Street, Milwaukee, WI.
The exhibition is dedicated to the furtherance of artists whose perception of landscapes are innovative, captivating and display expert execution of the concept. Over the course of history landscape paintings have developed from capturing mountain scenes, gently rolling hills, and still water garden ponds to cityscapes and views of urban areas, even venturing further into the abstract. One thing that remains true is that landscapes are one of the most desired genres among art collectors. By giving artists the freedom to determine what defines a landscape, this exhibition will explore and go beyond the boundaries of the traditional landscape, giving viewers a glimpse the state of contemporary landscape painting in the early 21st century.
