Better Than Real
“Great art picks up where nature ends.” –Marc Chagall
The Waterworks Visual Arts center is proud to present our Spring 2010 exhibition program. “Better than Real” is a group of painting shows by four respected regional artists, Elizabeth Bradford, Joy Moser, Emily Eve Weinstein, and Lisa Weiss. Each artist is concerned with taking aspects of their natural surroundings and enriching them to create a sort of heightened perception for viewers. All four artists begin with a love and respect for nature and the outdoors, and all share an ability to communicate their own inner addition to the scene, transforming an idea that is already a thing of beauty into a unique and powerful experience. One of the things that distinguish all individuals is the way in which they perceive. Truly talented and sensitive artists are able to somehow convey their own private, sovereign impressions so that it seems as if viewers can see the world through the artists’ eyes. These four painters demonstrate their own versions of that gift, with remarkable results.
