"The Familiar Wilderness" April 28 - May 30, 2013 Opening reception May 1, 2013 from 7-9 pm. Baton Rouge Gallery, Center for Contemporary Art • 1515 Dalrymple Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70808 • 225.383.1470
Lisa Qualls has created a body of work called "The Familiar Wilderness" with the freshness of relived childhood memories. She portrays the world with awe and innocence, and we recall the excitement of discovering our world. The subjects, as promised by the title of the show, are familiar and include still life, portrait, and landscape. The drawing and painterly treatments while classically skilled are used to reinterpret classical styles through both Modernist and Postmodernist eyes.
