NATURE TRANSFORMS:
Opening Reception Saturday, June 5th
Opening Reception
Saturday, June 5, from 4:00pm to 8:00pm
A unique tasting menu and beverages will be paired with selected works.
The Evolve Urban Arts Project is pleased to announce the second of two exhibitions exploring the intersection between visual arts, architecture and nature. Nature Transforms features the work of painter Jessica Van Brakle, photographer Wess Brown and a site-specific installation by mixed-media artist Alex Zealand.
With a nod to print and television media (Life After People, The World Without Us), Nature Transforms will examine the unique ways in which three DC-based artists explore the oppositional forces of the natural world and manmade architecture. Van Brakle's paintings explore these opposing forces through slick use of geometric architectural patterns overlaid with undulating vines. Brown gives us proof of these forces at work in his documentary coverage of the DC's old McMillan reservoir site. Zealand's work is a study in the transformational use of found materials into "natural" forms which seek to overrun their borders and infest the gallery space.
