Berry-Hill Galleries is pleased to present Bunny Harvey, New Work an exhibition of paintings completed in the last three years.
Bunny Harvey’s paintings play the edge between representation and invention, between traditional landscape and abstract painting. The works represented in this exhibition are natural scenes rendered in densely and dynamically painted surfaces which reflect her direct observation of nature. Using gestures large and small and a broad range of color, Harvey expresses a passionate relationship to her natural surroundings and to her life within the studio.
Bunny Harvey was born in New York in 1946. She received a BFA with honors and a MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design, was the recipient of the prestigious Prix-de-Rome in painting, and was awarded an individual artist grant from the Rhode Island Council on the Arts. In 1999 she was the recipient of the Pell Award for Excellence in the Arts. She has taught at Harvard University and the Rhode Island School of Design and is currently the Chairman of the Studio Art Department at Wellesley College where she recently received the Anna and Samuel Pinanski Teaching Prize. Bunny Harvey has exhibited widely throughout the United States, including solo museum exhibitions at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio; the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence; the Fuller Art Museum, Brockton, Massachusetts, and the Newport Art Museum, Rhode Island. In addition, her work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Chrysler Museum, Virginia; the Soviet Hall of Art, Moscow; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indiana; and The Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley, Massachusetts. Her work is represented in numerous private and public collections in the United States and abroad.
