Event Description
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 17 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
This two-person exhibition features classic floral images in two distinct styles. Acclaimed Amsterdam photographer Margriet Smulders' works recall the rich, dense burgundy, eggplant, umber and verdigris tones of the Dutch Golden Age painters in lush bouquets and cinematic formats. New Yorker Bryan Whitney’s alternative techniques with blooms – x-rays and stereoscopic images of specific genera such as cherry blossoms, tulips and roses – offer delicate organic forms of transcendent beauty. Both artists achieve a very grounded but ethereal, near spiritual ethos in their works, which celebrate nature and the garden.
