A Very Hungry Rabbit Should Be Fed
The3

Cecily Herzig’s exhibition of new paintings and prints titled A Very Hungry Rabbit Should Be Fed is on view in the Vermont Supreme Court building, 111 State Street, Montpelier, Vermont through April 30th 2010. Herzig’s exhibition is part of the Court’s ongoing Art in the Supreme Court series.

An artist’s reception will be hosted on Friday, March 19, from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM and is free and open to all.

The Supreme Court gallery is open Monday – Thursday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM and Friday 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM. The gallery will be closed on March 12 & April 2.

This show focuses on her new watercolors. In these you will often find cryptic phrases and odd bits of text placed very deliberately throughout the work. One is overtaken with the impression that these words have real meaning at real moments in her life experience. By pairing the carefully rendered creatures with the interspersed phrases the viewer is provided with a license to create the moments for themselves. Thereby, producing a challenging truthfulness that is rarely seen outside of representational or even photorealistic styles.
