Landscape Re-Framed: Sculptures by Celene Hawkins
Show on view through October 20th, 2013.
Cincinnati-based artist Celene Hawkins is inspired by the Taft’s European landscape paintings. Her exhibition draws upon the botanical motifs found in gilded decorative frames, as well as the landscapes ensconced within. In her work, frames move beyond merely presenting a work of art to becoming the art themselves. Within these structures, Hawkins incorporates her vision of the modern landscape, which both echoes and challenges the ideal presented in 19th-century painting.
Celene Hawkins will give a free talk on Sunday, September 15 at 2 p.m. Reception to follow. Reservations are requested. Call (513) 684-4515 or register online
