On a planet where pristine wilderness seems largely to have vanished, people concerned with environmental issues have begun asking whether we now live in a world after nature. This exhibit of landscape paintings and drawings by UW students, Landscape After Nature, explores the question of how we respond to nature in an Anthropocene era where human impacts pervade our environment, and how the art of landscape painting may help us come to terms with this evolving relationship in a twenty-first century context.Please join us for a delectable Northwest-themed buffet followed by a thought-provoking lecture on how artists are using their work to heighten the awareness around the environment. School of Art + Art History + Design Professor Philip Govedare and English and Comparative Literature Professor Gary Handwerk will expand upon the evolution of landscape depiction while UW MFA student Krista Schoening will give insights into how environmental issues influence her own work and that of other artists. |
