Highlighting Contemporary Art in Georgia: Picture This

November 18, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Free

November 18th – February 18th || 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. || The Morris Museum of Art 

This traveling exhibition features the work of twelve painters living and working in Georgia who focus on narrative. They are “a diverse group of artists experimenting in narrative painting,” said Didi Dunphy, director, Lyndon House Arts Center. “Each of their own stylistic interpretations, conceptual investigations, cultural messaging, and beauty are represented in this show.”

In this remarkable collection, the artists—each in their own distinctive, unique style— use the power of paint and other media to tell diverse stories. From vivid depictions of everyday life to photorealist still lifes, these works capture the essence of contemporary art in our state and region. 

The artists whose works are featured in this exhibition are Bo Bartlett and Orion Wertz, of Columbus; Holly Coulis, Cheryl Goldsleger, Margaret Morrison, and Ridley Howard, of Athens; Shanequa Gay, Fahamu Pecou, Dianna Settles, and Tori Tinsley, of Atlanta; Melissa Huang of Statesboro; and Cedric Smith of Macon.
