Rohrer Artists Examine Society's Contempt for Nature

In Puerto Rican artist Melvin Martinez's impressionistic paintings, he contrasts nature's frailty with garish Mardi Gras colors. He will be showing at Rohrer Fine Art as part of the "Nature Morte/Dead Nature" exhibit.

Rohrer Fine Art will host an artists' reception Saturday, May 10, from 6-8 p.m. for the group exhibition "Nature Morte/Dead Nature."

The show features contemporary artists Penelope Gottlieb, Kaoru Mansour, Melvin Martinez, Christina Lei Rodriguez, Andrew Taylor, and Timothy Tompkins, who are scheduled to be on site to discuss and explore the various nuances of their respective works.

Open to the public May 10 - Jul. 6, the exhibit examines society's disregard for nature portrayed through various traditional still-life genre interpretations. "Nature Morte" offers a unique 'green issues' perspective and its potential affect on humanity and its viewpoint.

The Rohrer Fine Art Gallery is open from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Mon. - Sat. and from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday. It is located at 346 North Coast Highway. For more information, please call 1-800-949-5211 or visit www. rohrerfineart.com.
