Lavender Day by Harry Boone
On View in the Main Gallery at GHIA April 25 - June 6
April 25, 5-7pm: Opening Reception, free to the public
An exhibition of works by artist Harry Boone in the Main Gallery at the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art. Work will be on view April 25 - June 6, 2025.
ABOUT THE SHOW: From Entropy to Renewal
The collection of work featured in “From Entropy to Renewal” focuses on subjects that may at first seem very different, but are in fact related by themes of decline, limitation, regeneration and revival. The work is sourced from two of Boone’s series - beach scenes from his Coastal Places and Things series to represent renewal, and stark images of mourning and death in his Entropy, Limitation, and Death series.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Harry Boone
Artist Harry Boone, Associate Professor Emeritus of Visual Art at Georgia Gwinnett College, paints contemporary works that explore definitions of nature, humanity, and their relationship.
“Rather than viewing nature as a separate entity to be witnessed, we invent nature and thus, ourselves. Put another way, I experience painting as a binary process: in looking through a “window” I begin to look into a mirror.” - Harry Boone, Artist statement (excerpt).
Boone currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia. His work was also featured in the 2024 A Sense of Place Exhibition at GHIA.
