The Room: Our Landscape Interior

"Modern art erupted with the landscape's inversion: the interior. Notably, modern artists began depicting windows into other rooms instead of painting views of the outside world... Interior spaces, unpeopled, allow us to imagine our own physical bodies in the space as well as our emotional and intellectual responses to how we feel when looking at that space. Invited, welcomed, voyeuristic, apprehensive or hesitant to enter: these interiors perhaps reveal more about us, the viewer, than they do about the painter's intent".- In My Room: Artists Paint the Interior 1950-Now, The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia


The Room - our landscape interior is a group exhibition investigating the shared connection to and from the interior landscapes and our places within them. Whether real or imagined, in showcasing our landscape interiors allows the viewer to step into the world of the artist’s making.
