Through the hardships, uncertainty and isolation of 2020, many found solace in nature.
Such experiences of wildlifeâs healing qualities are embodied in artist September Vhayâs newest exhibition, âClassics in Cadmium,â starting Monday at Altamira Fine Art and hanging through Feb. 20.
âI think weâre at a pivotal point with the pandemic, where people are very hopeful,â Vhay said. âAnd I like the idea of this exhibition inspiring the lighter side of moving forward.â
Vhayâs majestic red bears and horses â rendered with only a few brushstrokes but nonetheless full of shape and mass and life â are symbolically connected to the resilience and spirit many needed to endure the difficulties of 2020.
