‘Genius Loci’ is a Latin concept, which translates to “the prevailing character or atmosphere of a place”. In a contemporary context, it is a guiding principle in architecture and garden design – and for this exciting group show the concept is instead examined by artists. Using the medium of paint, this diverse group of 9 artists will zero in on the magic and mystery of atmosphere as it relates to the still life genre – as well as extending the notion to interiors and landscapes.
