Past Seasons

 

LAND OF WONDER

by Nikkole Huss

The exhibition, LAND OF WONDER, nods to the history of landscape art by encouraging the exploration and preservation of nature. Through painting, photography, fiber and installation, Huss reimagines and reinvents natural environments.

WONDER can evoke a sense of awe but also, investigate an atmosphere in flux.  Nature is fragile and vulnerable. Yet, the promise of exemplifying a duality of inner strength, adaptability and resilience is possible.

The gallery is directed by CUC Arts Division chair, professor of art, artist and arts advocate, Nikkole Huss, M.F.A. If you are interested in more information about an artist’s work or a particular exhibition, please contact her at Nikkole.Huss@CUChicago.edu.

If you are an established artist interested in exhibiting, please send a show proposal: 20 sample images (JPG format via digital image sharing), image inventory (title, media, dimensions, date), resume, exhibition history and artist’s statement to Nikkole Huss.
