Blooming West celebrates the seed that Georgia O’Keeffe planted, a modern vision of the West that fused florals with emotion, experimentation and soul,” explains Altamira Fine Art Scottsdale owner Jason Williams about an upcoming show at the Scottsdale gallery. “Her work opened the door for artists to reimagine the Western landscape through the lens of modernism.” Featuring artists Billy Schenck, Dennis Ziemienski, Ben Steele, Brad Overton, Duke Beardsley, Robert Moore and guest artist Whitney Gardner, the show highlights how the artists carry on O’Keeffe’s legacy through their use of bold form, vibrant hues and personal narrative in styles definitive of contemporary Western art. “Together, they honor O’Keeffe’s pioneering spirit while pushing the Western story forward. The show starts on January 20 and wraps up on the 31st.
