Tory Folliard Gallery, Fred Stonehouse – A Peaceable Kingdom
October 16 – November 14, 2015
Beautifully executed, Fred Stonehouse‘s work expresses his personal psychology and dreamlike vision as influenced by Renaissance painting, folklore, magic realism, and the unseen mysteries which abound in the world. In this exhibition Stonehouse delves deeper into the metaphor behind his crossbred animal paintings. Working from a biblical vision of harmony between all earthly creatures, Stonehouse’s new work strives to capture the realistic consequences of such unlikely animal pairings.
The Gallery’s exhibition runs concurrently with the Fred Stonehouse exhibition at the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA).
Note: Fred Stonehouse’s take on Edward Hicks’ theme of “A Peaceable Kingdom.” Isaiah 11:6.
