Galerie Magda Danysz, Paris, FR France | | Nancy Lorenz: Rock Garden
PDX Contemporary Art, Portland, OR USA United States of America PDX Contemporary Art in Portland presents Nancy Lorenz: Rock Garden from December 20, 2008 through January 31, 2009. Nancy Lorenz combines mother of pearl, pigments, lacquer, gold and silver leaf to create paintings that reference the natural world. Her paintings have both an abstract expressionist approach and fine craft techniques. Lorenz's imagery draws from Japanese aestheticism, chemistry and a classic painterly mode. The images in this exhibition include representations of traditional rock and moss gardens, water, Buddhist iconography and landscape inspired by her residency at Cill Railiag in Ireland. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

| | | Andy Warhol: Cowboys and Indians
Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC USA United States of America The exhibition Andy Warhol: Cowboys and Indians will be on display at the Mint Museum of Art from December 20, 2008 through May 9, 2009. Well known for his portrayal of celebrities and consumer goods, later in his career Andy Warhol became fascinated by the stories, myths and legends of the American West. Just one year before his death in 1987, he created the suite Cowboys and Indians. This suite accompanies the special exhibition Andy Warhol Portfolios: Life and Legends, on display through February 15, 2009. In the Cowboys and Indians suite, Warhol pays homage to America�s popular version of Western history. He depicts American heroes of the West such as General Custer, Teddy Roosevelt and Geronimo, as well as Western entertainers like Annie Oakley and John Wayne. The suite also features romanticized, stereotyped and exploited images of American Indians, including Mother and Child and Kachina Dolls. Strategically placed together in one suite, these different icons challenge and expose the controversies surrounding America�s perception of cowboys and Indians. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
