Spanierman Gallery, LLC is pleased to announce the opening on March 24, 2011, of Contemporary Still-Life Paintings, featuring artwork by Michael Theise, Yin Yong Chun, Lynn Veitzer, Deborah Bigeleisen, Terry DeLapp, Nancy Depew, Richard Murdock, Michael Siegel, and Sarah Lamb.
In this age of virtual reality, it is intriguing that still-life painting has been among the most resilient of artistic genres. Yet it is perhaps paradoxically the electronic world around us that has intensified the interest in this art form that dates to antiquity, for the portrayal of objects enables artists to consider our connection to physical matter, exploring our relationship to it culturally or individually, its familiarity or strangeness, and the ways that we invest it with meaning. The artists in this exhibition probe such concerns, whether using the vehicle of a particular motif to address shape and texture or taking a conceptual approach.
