September Art Exhibits

Breaking the Rules: Works of Art by Ike Bennet and Scott Gordon

August 9-September 18


Naïve art emerged as a style in that it went against the formal rules of art education and technique, especially not respecting the rules of perspective. The style, popularized by the French post-Impressionist artist Henri Rousseau, is characterized by its use of bright colors, simplified forms and shapes, and often a lack of perspective. Learn more.
