Insatiable: Our Rapacious Appetite for More

Jan. 18-March. 10, 2011

Opening Reception
Thursday, February 3, 5-7:30 p.m.

Gluttony is the new status quo. Our appetite for food, power, wealth, sex, new experiences, and information is seemingly insatiable and poses increasingly greater risks to the welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. This juried exhibition will feature work by 42 atists from the US and abroad that explores our ravenous craving for excess and/or the consequences of indulging our endless desire for more.

Copied from a lovely Sottobosco

2011-01-04T09:32:00.005-05:00

From Cornelis De Heem's "Vegetables and Fruit Before a Garden Balustrade," although I managed to elide all that make this a beautiful sottobosco picture, including the grey-pinkish night(?) sky, the balustrade, the small structure in the distance in what looks like a large field, and the romance of the trees creeping over the protected garden wall. Sottobosco (forest still life) is one of my new favorite types of still life.. even supplanting the sumptuous or pronk still life. (I'm currently reading "The Magic of Things: Still Life Painting 1500-1800" published by Frankfurt's Städel Museum.) My copies are always rough and somewhat ham-fisted, I like the speed of these things.. I hope that the awkwardness translates into the slower copies in the paintings. Certainly the elision of much in the ground that makes this picture special is a comedic error born of a certain myopia I'm trying to unlearn.

From Maine with love
