Forces of Nature: Renwick Invitational 2020


The Renwick Invitational, now in its ninth edition, presents "Forces of Nature: Renwick Invitational 2020," featuring the works of Lauren Fensterstock, Timothy Horn, Debora Moore, and Rowland Ricketts. These artists utilize the theme of nature as a means to explore the essence of humanity in a rapidly evolving world that increasingly distances itself from its physical surroundings.


Representing a diverse range of craft media, from fiber to mosaic to glass and metals, these artists approach the rich history of art's engagement with the natural world through unconventional and deeply personal perspectives. The exhibition showcases a wide variety of artistic approaches, from Lauren Fensterstock's intricate and large-scale installations that draw from decorative arts techniques such as paper quilling and mosaic, to Timothy Horn's exaggerated adornments that blend natural and constructed worlds, inspired by objects ranging from Baroque jewelry patterns to Victorian-era studies of lichen, coral, and seaweed.


Debora Moore's exquisitely detailed glass renderings of o. also feature prominently in the exhibition, capturing the intricate details of natural objects in a mesmerizing and lifelike manner.


Established in 2000, the Renwick Invitational has emerged as a prominent platform for showcasing midcareer and emerging artists who deserve wider national recognition. With each edition, the exhibition continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression and explore the complex relationship between humanity and the natural world.


"Forces of Nature: Renwick Invitational 2020" is a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire, challenge, and connect us to our surroundings, offering a glimpse into the diverse perspectives and creative approaches of these talented artists.
