MAY 3RD * ART EXHIBIT
NATURE: IN AND OUT OF FOCUS – THIS EXHIBITION CELEBRATES NATURE IN FINE DETAIL AND IN THE ABSTRACT. LEONARD MCDONALD AND TRACEY LUCKNER'S WORKS SHOW TWO VARIED APPROACHES AND INTERPRETATIONS OF OUR NATURAL WORLD. LEONARD, WITH A SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND, USES MACRO-PHOTOGRAPHY OF INSECTS AND POLLINATORS, TO EXPLORE THE DETAILS THAT ARE OFTEN MISSED BY THE NAKED EYE. TRACEY’S ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST PAINTINGS BLUR BOUNDARIES BETWEEN FORMS, FOCUSING INSTEAD ON AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE TO THE COLOR, MOVEMENT, AND RHYTHMS IN NATURE. EVEN WITH THEIR OPPOSING APPROACHES, THE WORKS SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER WITH THEIR SIMILAR VIBRANCY AND SUBJECT MATTER. WHEN VIEWED TOGETHER THE WORKS DEMONSTRATE THE NOTION THAT THERE ARE MANY LENSES THROUGH WHICH TO VIEW, EXPERIENCE, AND APPRECIATE NATURE.
