In the drawing gallery, a small group exhibition will be on view of works on paper by Yoan Capote, Valerie Demianchuk, and William T. Wiley. Entitled The Nature of Things, the exhibition plays off the different meanings of nature and each artist's approach to thing-ness, both humorous and serious. The show will include Demianchuk's meticulously rendered pencil drawings of natural objects, as well as two watercolor and ink drawings by Wiley from the early 1970's. Yoan Capote's drawings explore the irony of human nature--most notable in the large-scale watercolor Racional depicting a classical male torso with the genitalia replaced by a brain.
