SlowArt Productions presents the group thematic exhibition, Arte Natura. This exhibition will focus on art inspired by the natural world and will be held at the Limner Gallery from May 10 – June 2, 2007. Although human beings are part of the natural world, for this show figurative art of humans will be excluded. Included are all art forms relating to or gaining inspiration from the world of nature, landscapes, skyscapes, flowers, vegetables, fruits and animals are all included. All artist interpretations of the natural world from the realist to the abstract and conceptual will be reviewed and considered.
