At the Coutts Museum of Art, we are excited to present two stunning exhibitions that celebrate the diverse beauty of nature through the eyes of talented artists: "Le Fleur Quatre" and "Flinthills and Beyond." These exhibits, now on display, offer a unique opportunity to explore the intricate details of floral art and the vast landscapes of the Flint Hills region. Both exhibitions will be available until October 25, 2024.
Le Fleur Quatre: A Celebration of Floral Art
"Le Fleur Quatre" is a vibrant exhibition featuring the works of four accomplished artists: Cally Krallman, Beverly Dodge-Radefeld, Hi Stockwell, and Naomi Cashman. Each artist brings their unique perspective to the timeless subject of flowers, resulting in a diverse collection that captures the delicate beauty and emotional resonance of these natural wonders.
Cally Krallman is known for her dynamic oil and acrylic paintings that highlight the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets of the Midwest. In "Le Fleur Quatre," Cally’s work beautifully combines the vivid colors of the Kansas prairie with the intricate details of floral subjects, creating pieces that are both powerful and serene.
Beverly Dodge-Radefeld brings her passion for the Flint Hills landscape into her floral art, emphasizing the simple shapes and open skies that define the region. Her plein air approach infuses her paintings with a sense of immediacy and connection to nature, making each piece a reflection of her deep appreciation for the world around her.
Hi Stockwell uses his keen eye for detail to capture the fleeting beauty of flowers. His works in oil and watercolor are precise and evocative, showcasing his ability to translate the delicate nature of flowers onto canvas with remarkable clarity.
Naomi Cashman focuses on the luminescent qualities of petals, using watercolor to bring out the transparency and light that define her floral subjects. Her pieces are inspired by the flowers she lovingly tends in her garden, as well as those she encounters during her travels to botanical gardens.
Flinthills and Beyond: Exploring the Vast Landscapes
Alongside "Le Fleur Quatre," we are proud to present "Flinthills and Beyond," an exhibition by Milo West that delves into the expansive and enchanting landscapes of the Flint Hills region. Milo’s work captures the essence of this unique area, where rolling hills meet open skies, creating a sense of serenity and endless possibility.
In "Flinthills and Beyond," Milo’s paintings transport viewers to the heart of the Flint Hills, where the subtle interplay of light and shadow brings the landscape to life. His ability to convey the vastness and tranquility of this region is a testament to his deep connection to the land and his skill as an artist. Each piece in the exhibition invites viewers to pause and reflect on the natural beauty that surrounds us, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the world beyond our everyday experiences.
