Exploding Electric
Transformer with View of St. John the Baptist Church
Part
of a series of three pictures depicting a city in crisis, artist George
Schmidt portrays an unserviceable sorrow endemic to New Orleans that is
the direct result of it being the capital of a country that never came
into existence. Exploding Electric
Transformer with View of St. John the Baptist Church is oil on canvas, 72" x 48".
In honor of
its 25th anniversary, LeMieux Galleries is hosting a group invitational.
The exhibition will include work spanning 25 years of represented
artists, including Mr. Washington’s House
by
Shirley Rabe Masinter. The show opens July 5 and runs through July 26.
Hunt Slonem’s portraits traverse through territories of realism,
spirituality and poetry, the supernatural and natural. His work can be
found in more than 80 museums nationally and internationally. The show
opens June 7 and runs through July 29.
Roger Brown’s rich artistic career is at once intensely original and
personal, while also exemplifying pride in his Southern heritage. Kissin’ Cousins (1990) commemorates the fact
that he and Elvis Presley were related and shows their mutual descent
from the marriage of a Cherokee woman and a white man in the 19th
century.
David Lloyd combines solid traditional technique with a contemporary
sensibility, yielding a style that is both modern and timeless as
depicted in this interior portrait of the antebellum Houmas House on
River Road. The Music Room is oil on board, 14" x 11".
