About This Exhibition

Over time, artists have used the genre of still life to examine perception, iconography, decoration, and to display their technical virtuosity.

CORNUCOPIA is a national juried exhibition that reflects a variety of interpretations of still life emerging in the work of contemporary artists. The juror, Peter Sutton, has selected a broad array of work that includes sculpture, painting, photography, and printmaking. Sutton is an authority on 17th Century Dutch painting, and has organized major exhibitions of both historical and contemporary work.

A total of 40 works by 30 artists, including 8 artists from Rhode Island, as well as those from Massachusetts, Idaho, Illinois, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Colorado, and Texas, will be on display at Hera Gallery from Saturday, June 4 to Saturday July 9, 2005. The public is invited to the opening reception on Saturday, June 4, 6 - 8 PM at Hera Gallery.
