"We see reflections of our physical surroundings and experience the dynamics between human culture and the natural world in artwork influenced by the land," says Charles Beneke, exhibition curator and an associate professor of art at UA.
"In this exhibition we see diverse expressions of landscape as both the natural world and a construct of our culture and the artists who draw from it," adds Beneke.
