Artist Talk: Alexa Kleinbard - Storm Songs

Running through November 15 from 4-8 p.m. on Thursdays-Saturdays, McEachern Art Center

Alexa Kleinbard, a painter from Tallahassee, has decades of experience creating work about what human beings must protect in nature’s remarkable garden of biodiversity. As the destruction of wild lands all over the world escalates, she is driven to work on paintings that create a visual statement concerning the irreplaceable heritage of wildlife sanctuaries and biodiversity hotspots. The pieces in Kleinbard’s exhibition will serve as reminders of the delicate interdependency between water, air, land and all living beings on the planet, hinting at the silence that will be left in our remaining habitats if mankind’s war against the environment is not subdued.
