Encounters: Lilian Garcia-Roig
October 5-November 30
This is an exhibition of dramatic large-scale landscapes by Florida artist Lilian Garcia-Roig, who specializes in creating works that are at once representational and abstract. Garcia-Roig paints on-site to capture the multi-dimensional experience of a landscape focusing in and out at various depths to recreate the experience of being in dense, tangled woods. Artist Lilian Garcia-Roig was featured in the Huntsville Museum of Art's Red Clay Survey: 2008 Exhibition of Contemporary Southern Art. Her painting Fall Paths, MacDowell, New Hampshire, oil on canvas, was not only the winner and overall favorite of the People's Choice Award but also the winner of the Juror's Choice Award. This exhibition is organized by HMA. |
