What: Almeida is well known for his aerial landscape paintings of the Sacramento Delta region, as well as his large figurative paintings of tourists in European museums. For his upcoming exhibition at the Knowlton Gallery, THE CULTIVATED LANDSCAPE: A Tuscan Travelogue, Almeida is looking forward to new challenges. "Being that the main thrust of my landscapes is the organization of large spaces, I will be searching for compositions that encompass the receding topography and include the rhythmic patterning of land cultivation."

What: Sun Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of “World View: Landscape in Contemporary Art,” a new exhibit that will run from April 23rd to June 1st, 2013. The term “landscape” can be broadly applied to many artistic compositions and approaches. Traditionally, it describes the depiction of natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests. It can also cover the representation of the urban environment and, more broadly speaking, landscape may act as a background for figurative work where the narrative of the completed artwork relies upon the interaction of the two.

This exhibition explores the dimensions and boundaries of how we experience landscapes by bringing together juried submissions from artists working in different media and across genres. By juxtaposing ideas and approaches, the exhibition creates an interactive landscape of its own in which visitors are invited to take part.
When: April 23rd – June 1st, 2013
Where: Sun Gallery
