It’s become a tradition for the
Chadds Ford Gallery to do something different in February and this year is no
exception. On Friday, Feb. 11, the gallery opens a new exhibit, Talk to the
Animals.
The works are from popular
artists known to gallery patrons, with some showing something different than is
their norm. Featured artists include Glenn Blue, Duke Snow, Paul Scarborough,
Rob Stine, Tim Wadsworth, Susan Sponenberg and more.
Gallery owner Jackie Winthur
said that some artists, such as Michael McNelly haven’t shown at the gallery in
a long time, but are coming back for this exhibit. There will also be work from
at least one new artist on display.
She added that the idea is to
bridge the Christmas in Miniature and the annual April exhibit. The theme this
year actually evolved from the Christmas show.
“It came from the popularity of
the animals from the miniature show,” she said. “People really liked the
animals, the dogs in particular, but they liked the wildlife, too…People like
their dogs better than their kids; I do, sometimes.”
As the exhibit name implies,
all the pieces have some sort of animal subject matter. Winthur said that the
styles will vary from realistic to abstract. And there will be more humor in
this exhibit.
“It’s going to be neat,”
Winthur said.
