Throughout history, artists have responded to the natural environment, whether in detailed studies of plants and animals or lush paintings of the land or sea. In recent years, as the lines between what is truly natural and what has been altered, genetically or otherwise, by mankind has become increasingly hard to distinguish, artists are responding to nature—or what passes for nature—in entirely new ways. (un) Natural looks at this phenomenon through the work of a small group of primarily emerging Bay Area artists, including Jessica Cadkin, Ross Campbell, Misako Inaoka, Kathryn Spence, Lucrecia Troncoso, and Tara Tucker, among others.
ABOUT THE DI ROSA PRESERVE: ART & NATURE
Located on 217 scenic acres in the Carneros region of southern Napa Valley, the di Rosa Preserve: Art & Nature provides opportunities for creative enrichment and enjoyment of art and the environment throughout the year. A gift to the public from passionate art collector Rene di Rosa, the Preserve houses nearly 2,200 works of art in all media by more than 900 artists from Northern California, possibly the largest collection of its kind.
The Gatehouse Gallery is open Wednesday – Friday 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM, and Saturday with tour reservations. Guided tours allow visitors to experience the di Rosa Preserve grounds and galleries beyond the Gatehouse, Wednesdays – Saturdays. www.dirosapreserve.org
