The new exhibition, "African Menagerie: The Inquisition," at the Canton Museum of Art (CMA) showcases the artwork of one of the world's premier painters of wildlife: Brian Jarvi.
This panoramic adventure discusses the plight of African wildlife species with a visually stunning centerpiece measuring ten-foot by five-foot. Over forty related research sketches and mixed media studies accompany this lavishly painted centerpiece. The works call attention to the Earth's wildlife extinction crisis. From the jungles around the equator, where mountain gorillas and chimpanzees barely endure, to the grasslands of Zimbabwe, the animals whose very iconic presense has become a symbol of wildness to all of us, are dwindling at an alarming rate.
This exhibition is on view April 26, 2018 - July 22, 2018 with a free public reception on Thursday, April 26, 2018 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
