“For RS HANNA Gallery, it’s all about figure and form this month - the gallery is featuring two separate shows that collectors won’t want to miss.  The first show, Figuratively Speaking, runs April 29 - May 18 and spotlights the human figure.  The second show, opening May 3 and running through June 1, is titled Art of the Horse.

In Figuratively Speaking the gallery displays paintings by Dan Beck, Kevin Beilfuss and Bryce Cameron Liston, three expressive masters of the genre who are known for capturing the emotions of their subjects.  Beck, Beilfuss, and Liston have all won top awards from the prestigious Oil Painters of America.  “These fine artists exquisitely express the complexity of what it means to be human.  The artists connect us and turn such moments to silent eloquence while visually speaking in the language of life itself,” says gallery owner Shannon Hanna. 

The horse is one of the great icons of the American West.  On May 3 the gallery opens a show of more than 30 artworks that depict this universal symbol of power, grace, and elegance.  The presentation brings together paintings and sculptures by top artists in the equine genre, including Frank Gardner, Daniel Glanz, Lindsey Bittner Graham, John Austin Hanna, Elizabeth Pollie, and Hodges Soileau. 

A brunch reception takes place on May 19 from noon to 3PM. 

“Feel the wind on your face and the moonlight through the trees in these iconic forms of strength and beauty from these fine artists,” says Maggie Gillespie, gallery associate.”

Where it's about art. The real thing. That indefinable but very real commodity that quickens the senses, captures us in a moment and connects us somehow to what we consider beautiful, important, desirous.... we are about promoting that art and the fine artists who produce it in a real way in this jewel box of artists. To have a space for that dynamic communication to shine - seizing that mercurial quality that fine art really is: capturing us in a moment, enchanting us for a lifetime. 

Featuring original works of nationally acclaimed artists working in oil, watercolor, pastel, bronze and wood, working in color and emotion, beauty and light.  A jewel box of “artist’s artists” just a few steps off the beaten path in historic Fredericksburg.
