Corpus Chromatic Opening Reception

  • Louise Brown Gallery Duke University Durham, NC, 27710 United States (map)

Corpus Chromatic is a body of portraits meant to celebrate and venerate living systems for their physical beauty, unique functions, characteristics, ancient designs, and meaning. Some branch-like forms and patterns visible in the human body mirror symbols of nature such as leaf venation and tree limbs; unfamiliar subjects are shrouded in mystique yet have universal origins and designs.

Anatomical subjects are abstracted with bright colors to bring attention to them and to add fantasy, drawing attention to the beauty and function of the living object itself.
