Artists reception Saturday, March 25, 2023, 2-4pm
Join us for a cross section of visual observations from nature by five northern Illinois artists in a variety of media. Both naturalism and abstraction are investigated by this group of artists: Fletcher Hayes, Layne Jackson, Mike Barret Kolasinski, Kim Laurel and Dorothy Mason.
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 our natural world in flux. Works exhibited are a figurative treatment of our nature subjects sometimes alluding to other symbolic meanings. Those symbols of our natural world are expanded on as pattern, texture, color, form and light. We invite you to observe this diverse group of visual expressions compiled by the curator/artist team of Kim Laurel and Fletcher Hayes.
