Nature at It's Best
River Gallery 400 East Second Street, City of Chattanooga, Tennessee 37405
With spring emerging, the artists in the April show "Nature at its Best" have cultivated their creativity to botany in a diverse array of mediums. Steven Noggle expresses homage to the tree by utilizing the organic edge of the original trunk in his hardwood-turned bowls. With the idea that plant life has always inspired the man-made, Kim Kauffman uses the technical to inform the botanical in her series of digital prints created on a flatbed scanner. Ceasar Citraro observes both the detailed and the abstracted elements of the environment with his oil paintings.
