Neorococosho
Curated by Douglas Ferrari.
Reception: Sunday, September 13, 3-6pm.
Rococo was an 18th century style characterized by intricate ornamentation; free and graceful movements and a playful use of line and delicate colors. It portrayed the care-free life of the aristocracy. Many artists today seem to be exploring similar visual elements. Is this merely coincidental? Are they deiberately exploring Rococo artistic styles? Are they inadvertantly embracing today's aristocracy? These questions are what this exhibition will investigate and hopefully answer. |
