“Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.” – Aristotle

Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to announce a group exhibition of paintings, sculptures, photographs, video and mixed media works by artists Birgir Andrésson, Adam Belt, Stephen Curry, Roman de Salvo, Andy Diaz Hope in collaboration with Laurel Roth, Iran do Espírito Santo, Vernon Fisher, Hreinn Fridfinnsson, Maiko Haruki, Anya Gallaccio, Andy Goldsworthy, Roy McMakin, Lincoln Schatz and James Turrell. The exhibition, DISSECTING NATURE, will open with a public reception on Saturday, January 14 from 6 to 8 PM.

Dissecting Nature is an exhibition of artwork that uses man-made materials to emulate nature or natural materials to create artistic constructions.

The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery has selected Lincoln Schatz’s 2008 commission for Esquire magazine, Portrait of the 21st Century for inclusion in their collection. The series of nineteen portraits, which includes George Clooney, Jeff Bezos and LeBron James, will be on view beginning Aug. 20 in the exhibition “Americans Now” through 2011.

Curators and historians at the National Portrait Gallery recommend to the museum’s commission (a board of 17 people who serve in an advisory role for the museum) a selection of objects portraying those who have made significant contributions to American life and culture. The works are chosen for their biographical and aesthetic impact and are created in a wide variety of mediums– paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, photographs and video art.
