Reaching for the Light Exhibition, University of Michigan at Rackham, October 6–December 15, 2014
Jim Rehlin is honored to have had one of his paintings selected for Reaching for the Light: observations, lessons, mysteries of the botanical world. This juried exhibition was hosted by the University of Michigan Rackham Graduate School, and curated by River Gallery + Exhibits in Chelsea, Michigan.
Jim's Sunflowers / Chipmunk painting (acrylic on canvas, 34"x20") and a variety of other artists' interpretations on the exhibit's theme — including photographs, textiles, drawings, and other paintings — were on display for several months throughout the fourth floor of the historic U-M Rackham Building in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Although the exhibition is now closed, you can view all of the art in this exhibition by visiting River Gallery + Exhibits.
