The Janice Mason Art Museum announces the opening of The
Colors of Life, an exhibit of almost 40 oil paintings by
Nashville-area artist Mary Martens. Ms. Martens is known for her realistic,
though unique views of architecture, landscapes, statues, portraiture, and
large, close views of flowers. Her use of vibrant, bold color and
interesting perspective produces luminous work with a distinctive style.
Mary Martens' exhibit further illustrates the breadth of
styles the Museum goes to great lengths to display. While her
subject is traditional her perspective is anything but. Her
unique style is illuminating and wrought with feeling. Indeed
her passion seems to leap from canvas to canvas.
This is one of those exhibits that one must return to visit over and
over again. Each visit reveals something new. The
exhibit opens August 9 and closes September 9, 2002.
Mrs. Martens' prints and cards are for sale in the Museum Shop and
the options are exciting. With this exhibit the Shop is fairly
bursting with selections and most all of the original paintings are
for sale. |
