We now know that trees talk to each other. But we have always known that they speak to us. Who does not feel moments of simple happiness in the shade of a beautiful oak tree in summer, or a sense of worry when entering a dense fir forest? A cherry blossom tells us a love poem.
After the painters, the photographers captured the trees as models. For the gallery, which seeks to champion pictorialist photography, what a fitting subject for a summer exhibition.
Each of the five artists on view expresses their own sensitivity to this timeless subject. A language at once universal, and also unique.
