Wilde Meyer Gallery’s group show “The Many Faces of Nature” features the many different interpretations and individualistic styles of artists who confront and portray the natural areas of the Southwest.
Albert Scharf’s landscapes capture the dramatic effects of light and atmosphere in scenes of soft, gentle clouds drifting over distant mesas and mountains.
Michelle Chrisman’s paintings portray the Southwest in intense colors with searing red cliffs and golden desert populated with emerald green vegetation.
Jeff Cochran’s paintings of the rustic countryside feature long shadows and subtle shifts of light and dark that create moody afternoons and dreamy, early mornings.
In landscapes as diverse as birch forests, desert plains or riverbeds, Acacia Alder depicts an interplay of light and color with interconnecting tree branches, leaves, rocks and brush thickets in her paintings.
In her modernist paintings, Sushe Felix transforms mesas, mountains, cacti and sky into simplified shapes which are composed into smooth, rhythmic landscapes.
Also showing will be art by Barbara Gurwitz, Gregory Stocks, Michael Baum with many others.
“The Many Faces of Nature” runs October 3, 2013 and continues through November 6, 2013.
