CONTEMPORARY REALISM INVITATIONAL 2013; A Group Show
Opening Friday, October 4
6 - 9 PM
Miller Gallery is proud to present its second biennial Contemporary Realism Invitational, an exhibition of paintings by some of the finest realist painters in the United States, Canada and beyond. A year in the planning, this extraordinary body of work, curated by gallery director Rosemary Seidner, features new paintings of all sizes and diverse subject matter-landscapes, still life, figurative--by 27 leading artists (inc. DMB).
Leaving the heyday of 20th century modernism behind, a time when pushing art to its limits was more important than actual skill, there is an ongoing broad return by artists across the globe to discipline and tradition. Returning to discipline and tradition, however, does not mean that the resulting art is traditional, just that the level of accomplishment of the proponents is refined to the highest level, inspired by the greatest artists of the past.
Included in the show are not only the 15 renowned realists that Miller Gallery regularly represents, but also 12 remarkable artists whose work we greatly admire.
October 4 – October 19, 2013
