The Beverly Arts Center, 2407 W. 111th St., will host “This Living Earth–Our Shared Gaia,” a cross section of visual observations from nature by 12 Northern Illinois/Indiana artists in a variety of media, April 5 to 27.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, April 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission to the family-friendly exhibition and reception is free to the public.
This group of artists investigates both naturalism and abstraction, and they include Sharon Bladholm, Gabriella Boros, Victoria Fuller, Kathryn Gauthier, Fletcher Hayes, Mike Barret Kolasinski, Basia Krol, Deborah Maris Lader, Kim Laurel, Dorothy Mason, Gregory Mejia and Renee McGinnis.
The Gaia theory as a world concept focuses on observing how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms contribute to the stability of our planet. Hortus Botanicus (the botanical garden) is the underlying common influence that permeates each of these artists’ work, whether of landscape, plant, water and animal study or as allegorical metaphors for the natural world in flux. Works exhibited are a figurative treatment of nature subjects sometimes alluding to other symbolic meanings.
Those symbols of the natural world are expanded on as pattern, texture, color, form and light.
The curator/artist team of Kim Laurel and Fletcher Hayes compiled the diverse group of visual expressions.
A closing reception, “This Living Earth–Our Shared Gaia” Artists’ Talk and Performance, will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
