DENVER — Over stimulated by electronic information and computerized images, artists continue to mine inspiration from nature. Nature’s universal beauty beckons us, as it has throughout history. We crave its simplicity. Although, the simplicity of nature is fleeting. We have phantom cravings for virgin land. We forget that contemporary relationships with nature are abstract and idealized.
Nature’s Line forces the contemplation of nature’s role in today’s cultural landscape. Eight artists redefine natural forms through their unique lenses, leaving the viewer to examine their own understanding of nature in our manmade world.
“My work is a reaction to the natural and the artificial that surrounds me” – Taiko Chandler
“In our modern world, which is growing smaller, the influences of the computer are everywhere” – Laura Wait
“I absorb, and translate, giving visual form to my response to the world around me” – Karen Scharer
“The paintings are snapshots, postcards [sent] home…as he travels uncharted territory” – Ian McLaughlin
“Amidst the density and jumble of form are glimpses of a lighter, lacy spaciousness. There is a suggestion of exuberance, surprise, and limitless possibility” – Diane Cionni
“I am touched by the delicate change of fading blossoms”
– John Wood
“I am constantly investigating new ways to explore beauty, and locate hidden common denominators in the world we perceive” – Miguel Edwards
“My paintings draw from…a striving for serenity in a world inundated by input” – Carlene Frances
