Timeless Vision: Earth, Sea, and Sky
The exhibition includes artworks by local and regional, as well as internationally recognized artists working in the genre of the landscape. The landscape is a relatively new genre in Western art that emerged in its own right only in the Romantic movement of the late 19th Century, a time when all the battles against nature were believed to have been won and the ‘grand vista’ became a preferred subject for artistic endeavors for the first time.
This exhibition is intended to celebrate the sublime beauty of the landscape without dwelling on the pressing issues of the natural world in this time of environmental crisis. The exhibition is an attempt to examine the various ways in which artists perceive the wonders of the world and give us a sense of our place in a very large universe.
