art629 is proud to present our new exhibit, "Floral Muse", showcasing artwork in a variety of media by 18 artists.
Flowers can represent a multitude of emotions and feelings from love, passion and desire to purity, innocence or even death.
Found in masterpieces throughout history from Claude Monet and Gustav Klimt to Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keefe, flowers have been applied to express the surreal and the sublime, the joy and the madness, the beauty and the broken.
Join us for the opening reception on Saturday March 23 from 7-10pm and meet the talented artists of this exhibition
The upcoming exhibit is a celebration of flowers, showcasing their beauty in various art forms and interpretations. The artwork, ranging from sculptures to oil paintings, will be available for purchase. Not only will art enthusiasts have the chance to buy unique pieces, but they'll also get to meet and interact with many of the artists during the opening event.
Art629 curator, Brittany James, expresses her enthusiasm for the show, highlighting its diverse collection. "The display will include not just traditional mediums like watercolor and photography, but also innovative floral-themed furniture!" Brittany believes that the exhibit offers a fantastic opportunity to welcome Spring, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of floral art.
