Get Real: Still Life Paintings by Five Louisiana Artists February 17, 2010

Perhaps by its very difference from the frantic pace of our hyper-connected lives, the venerable still life continues to resonate with us. Inviting us to rest our eyes upon it and enjoy a bit of contemplation, a still life painting features inanimate, usually ordinary, objects imbued with significance and beauty by the hand of the artist. This exhibition presents recent work spotlighting four notable contemporary Louisiana painters who take a traditional view of this enduring art form: Albino Hinojosa, Libby Johnson, Auseklis Ozols, Amy Weiskopf and the late Patricia Whitty.
