“Seasons and Beyond” presents a sampling of UVA’s permanent collection of multimedia work. This focus reflects the eclectic changes in nature throughout the seasons. As the seasons change, so do we all. Be sure to reflect on those changes as you study the works of art that draw you in for further contemplation.
As you view each of the same works, the way it affects us differently allows for a plethora of ways for introspection to take place. The art depicts various scenes in nature, observations of the real-world, and abstract works.. These works created by over 25 artists range from prints, watercolors, acrylic and oil paintings, as well as photographs and collages. By recalling memorable moments from our pasts through seeing others’ memories, this act gives way for understanding commonalities of life’s highs and lows despite the different details of our lives. Reminiscing over these common themes that have found their way to us all can result in a therapeutic sense of belonging and stillness with oneself.
UVA’s permanent collection of art has over 150 art items created by Boston area artists as well as some archived pieces from various national artists. As we open this new exhibit, we are grateful for offers of donations now and also in the future.
