Rainy Day, by Gerard Firmin, 19th century French oil painting
Two Umbrellas, by Lisbeth Firmin, oil on wood panel, 2015
Am pleased to announce that one of my paintings is paired up in this intriguing ‘concept’ exhibition at the Arnot Museum in Elmira, NY. The spring 2017 feature exhibition 23 Pairs: Considering Compare and Contrast opened to the public on Saturday 18 February and will be on view until August 12. Full disclosure, it’s possible that Gerard is a distant relative!
Twenty three pairs of chromosomes make up the human genome: the building block of each individual’s image. Twenty three Museum works have been installed, each with a companion lent from an American institution. Visit, and compare and contrast – there won’t be a test! These pairs of art objects combine to shape a new way of seeing and experiencing images.
