“Fragile Illusions: Fusing the Senses” Aug. 11-Oct. 13 Alfons Gallery 1501 S. Layton Blvd.
This exhibit offers a fresh, new take on the classic still-life painting style with its rich, colorful, varied and lengthy history—from the Dutch masters to Paul Cézanne, Giorgio Morandi and contemporary practitioners such as Janet Fish and Beth Lipman. “Fragile Illusions: Fusing the Senses,” featuring large-scale, contemporary paintings and mixed media works by Wisconsin artist Robin Jebavy, explores our fragile and often precarious human condition through glassware imagery that enables her to ask questions about our intimate relationship with the external world. The exhibit at Alfons Gallery is free and open to the public. For more information, call 414-385-5273 or visit alfonsgallery.org.
