  Center for the Arts fall exhibitions  
(Arts)

Includes an exhibition by internationally acclaimed painter Philip Taaffe and "Beyond Real: Still Life in the 21st Century," which features painting, photography, and video by artists from Israel, Holland, Canada, and the United States.

Taaffe has created a prolific body of work where referential images borrowed from various cultural and scientific sources are layered together with invented motifs. He masterfully synthesizes an encyclopedic range of references to history, the natural sciences, and cultures around the world in bold, vibrant paintings. Taaffe's work interweaves silk screening, stenciling, collage, marbling, staining, and many other image making approaches into rich and complex paintings. A fascination with symbols, cultural traditions, and rituals across civilizations and throughout time infuse this exhibition of 10 paintings from the artist's studio, private collections, and Luhring Augustine in New York.

Juxtaposing tradition with innovation, "Beyond Real: Still Life in the 21st Century" presents painting, photography, and video by artists who build on, respond to, and transform the time-honored still life tradition through the lens of the 21st century. These works of art convey life's exquisite beauty, but also its vulnerability, while heightening perception and appreciation of the present and the everyday.
Featuring work by artists Gerry Bannan (Roanoke, Virginia); Ori Gersht (from Israel, based in London, England); David Halliday (New Orleans, Louisiana); Jennifer L. Hand (Dublin, Virginia); Laura Letinsky (from Canada, based in Chicago, Illinois); Tim O'Kane (Charlottesville, Virginia); and Agniet Snoep (Amsterdam, Netherlands).
