 An opening reception will be held on Thursday,
July 14, 2022 from 5 to 8 pm at the LAI Gallery, 112 S. Mclean St.,
Lincoln. The show, entitled “We Didn’t Know” will include still life
oil paintings.
The artist explains, "The pandemic changed the way we view the
world. It brought to light truths that remained unseen and caused
pain beyond the effects from the physical virus. It made us question
our values, our relationships, ourselves. To me, still lifes are
extremely personal. The objects in each piece represent a moment or
feeling and how the pandemic magnified or reflected each. Some
reflect the pain and doubt it caused, while others deal with the
humor of the situation. Still lifes act as a mirror to our mind. 'We
Didn’t Know' focuses on the time directly prior to and during the
pandemic."
Erin Eveland is a painter and the Executive Director of The Hub -
Arts and Cultural Center in Rushville, IL.
