Alumnae Featured in Reflections: Inspired by the Modern Masters
Local artists create new works inspired by Matisse, Miro, Picasso, Chagall and Dali at the Chali-Rosso Art Gallery.
Opening Reception | March 10, 7 – 10:30 pm
Chali-Rosso Art Gallery presents Reflections: Inspired by the Modern Masters, an innovative exhibition of artwork by 14 contemporary artists and the modern masters who inspired them.
The Gallery has partnered with some of the finest, accomplished,
local artists to create a group show dedicated solely to exploring how
art and artists are connected, through time and space, due to infinite
influence and inspiration. These include alumna Wendi Copeland (2010) and Tristesse Seeliger (1996).
A select group of talented artists has been challenged to create works of art that are directly inspired by any of the masterworks in Chali-Rosso’s gallery collection. This includes original works by Picasso, Matisse, Dali, Miro, Chagall, Motherwell, Hirst, Lichtenstein, Warhol and many others.
The contemporary works will be exhibited next to their inspirational works by the Masters. This exciting project aims to illustrate how relevant the art of the Modern Masters continues to be and how their influence can still be felt in the contemporary art of today. In addition to the academic value, the goal of the exhibition is to gain a visual experience about how art is continual and successive.
