Abundance
Abundance by Genetta McLean will be showing here at Mathias Fine Art from June 30 to September 3rd.
Description of Collection:
Genetta McLean’s latest offering is a suite of oil-on-panel works on the ancient theme of xenia – supplying guests with the fruitful abundance of culinary provisions. The ensemble, created using materials and methods of renaissance still life painters, may be read at various levels. Some may see the exuberant enjoyment of plenty captured in the elegant forms of the golden plums and blue duck eggs. Others may recognize the timelessness reflected in the vegetable dyed linen cloth, which could have been woven from flax last month, or four thousand years ago; the ancient Egyptian relief sculpture of the ram, hand thrown stoneware. The earth has given us food, fiber and utensils for millennia.
How shall we respect this generosity?
