Douglas Flanders & Associates Fine Art Gallery, the oldest gallery in Minnesota, is proud to announce a special exhibition celebrating the remarkable talent of three Minnesota-based women artists: Virginia Bueide, Gayle Cole and Joan Porter-Einsman. Set to take place from April 6 to May 11, 2024, at the gallery's prestigious location in Minneapolis, this showcase promises to captivate art enthusiasts with its diverse array of primitive styles and profound artistic expression. Each artist brings her unique vision to the forefront, drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of folk and naïve art, while infusing their work with contemporary sensibilities.
Virginia Bueide
Virginia Bueide's art emanates a profound connection to nature, capturing the essence of Minnesota's open landscapes with quirky details and emotional resonance. Through her vibrant paintings, she invites viewers to immerse themselves in the simple beauty of the natural world, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence for the environment. Bueide's work reflects her deep appreciation for the land and its inhabitants, celebrating the symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature.
Gayle Cole
Gayle Cole's striking works transport viewers into a world where both imagination and the objecthood of things play upon the painted surface. Ordinary moments have hints of magic and wonder that evoke a sense of mysticism, nostalgia and new beginnings drawn from the everyday. Cole's playful use of color and form invites viewers to rediscover the newness and wonder of the ordinary, sparking curiosity and igniting imagination.
Joan Porter-Einsman
Joan Porter-Einsman's art exudes a timeless elegance, blending elements of primitive art with a contemporary aesthetic. Through her bold brushstrokes, she explores themes of symbolism, identity, memory, and cultural heritage, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of the human experience. Porter-Einsman's work resonates with a sense of authenticity and raw emotion, capturing the essence of Minnesota's rich cultural tapestry while offering a glimpse into the artist's soul.
