The Flowers of Summer – Then and Now |

|
A special presentation of works by Maria Sotolongo and William Bock are on display. Also being shown are images of flowers dating from late 19th century chromolithography to paintings and photography of the 21st century.
Maria Sotolongo’s vibrant images showcase her delight in observing the intricacies of flowers. Working in both acrylic and oil she captures the fleeting beauty of their impermanence.
William Bock's assemblages use distressed ‘orchid baskets’ which cradle fossils, stone, and delicate paintings of flowers and landscapes. Reminiscent of Joseph Cornell's boxes the pieces draw you into the artist’s world in delightful packages.
Among additional flora in the exhibit are:
Chromolithography “Invoice of Violets” by P. De Longpre, ©1895, Chicago Chronicle
“Flowers from an English Garden ©1994” by Thomas George
Watercolors by Ernest Bock “Hibiscus ©2015
Gallery Statement:
"Our international collection
of fine art focuses on artists from Australia, Japan, the Netherlands and the
United States. We work directly with the artists featured in our gallery to
ensure that the artwork we carry is of the finest quality. We strive to learn as
much as possible about the artist and to follow his/her career and
development. Each piece of artwork has a story. We do our best to know and
to understand the nature of the work, the artist's philosophy in creating it,
and the way it fits into the art world as a whole." Mary Lou Bock/Curator
