Gallery North is pleased to present: Still Life, an exhibition of work which encompasses the aesthetic of everyday life. The elements of a Still Life work are often filled with symbolic connections to our living world or specialized images of inanimate objects. Since the time of the Egyptians, people have considered skilled depictions of everyday objects, animals and especially, food and flowers as preferred decoration to enhance the homes in which they lived. That idea has continued throughout the centuries. Even in modern family portraits, artists include combinations of flowers or food arranged near silverware, plates and linens on a decorative table. While paintings are composed of shells and bugs and bones and all kinds of other incidental items, still life work is not static. The set tables could be near a window. That window could overlook a field or show a city view from several floors above. Perhaps it is time to eat. Should the table be cleared? The objects might not be alive, but there is always an implied action. There are always possibilities.
Included in this exhibition are local and regional artists.
