Nature Inspired

Nature Inspired
From the Permanent Collection, with Guest Artist Ann Cummings

2021

A flower opening in the morning sun. A rainstorm darkening the sky. Dead trees covered with mushrooms and moss. The changing colours of the sea, and of the seasons. The natural world as long been a source of inspiration for artists who perceive and render it as a metaphor or symbol, poetically or realistically.

The exhibition Natured Inspired presents such works found in our permanent collection. Clay, glass and copper enamel artists shown here offer their interpretation of the natural world, its botanical specimens and its landscapes – in sculptures, two-dimensional pieces and functional wares.

Catalogue features essays from Denis Longchamps, Executive Director; Peter Flannery, Assistant Curator; and Jonathan Smith, Curator Emeritus, Art Gallery of Burlington.
