The
Art of Conservation 2010 exhibition September
24th - December 20th 2010 |
France's
artworks entitled "Southeast View from Zabriskie Point" depicting a
landscape from Death Valley National Park, California, and "Jumbo
Rocks" depicting a landscape from Joshua Tree National Park,
California,
were selected as part of an international competition and will be
presented at
the 2010 Art of Conservation exhibition, along with 100 works of the
world's
foremost nature and wildlife artists.
The exhibition can be viewed online at www.natureartists.com. The exhibition will also
be presented as
a beautiful
hard-cover book, which
includes a description of the creative process involved for each of the
selected artwork. "The Joshua tree is the largest of the yuccas. It grows naturally only in the Mojave desert and nowhere else in the world. Joshua Tree National Park is a privileged place where one can admire extensive natural stands of this unique plant. Moreover, this park has an extraordinary geology. "Jumbo Rocks" depicts a spectacular sculpturing of granite rocks. Here and there, yuccas and other plants grow, adding life and color to the scene. The long and narrow format of the painting helps conveying the beauty of the extensive rock formation and helps strengthening the composition. In the early morning light, the scene is dazzlingly beautiful." |
