Steven Francis Fine Art new; real! Contemporary Realism from Central Virginia Steven Francis Fine Art, in collaboration with the Virginian Hotel and the Academy Center of the Arts, has created a unique multi-location exhibition featuring well-known and celebrated Central Virginia artists as well as emerging artists. The title “New Real” refers to the representational work by these artists who work in recognizable subject matter but approach their work with a full understanding of the contemporary practices of the late 20th and early 21st century—and who bring their own unique style and vision to their art. The dominant movements of Abstract Expressionism, Conceptual Art, and many more contemporary ways of thinking about art have challenged artists to see differently, to pull away from older forms of painterly realism, and to find new and interesting ways to express visual reality while still adhering to recognizable forms and subject matter. In addition to the work at The Virginian Hotel, there is a much larger and more complete exhibition that includes all the participating artists at Steven Francis Fine Art, located at 102 Tradewynd Drive, Lynchburg 24502. Both exhibits will run from November 11, 2022 to February 11, 2023. The participating artists include Lincoln Perry, Martin Geiger, Philip Geiger, Elizabeth Geiger, Rosalie White, Lucia Coates, Frank Hobbs, Richard Crozier, Robert Bricker, Ken Templeton, Allen TenBusschen, Sarah-Faith Strait, Ann Glover, Max Mitchell, Laura Vahlberg, Elise Schweitzer, Bill White, and Aggie Zed.
