"This exhibit is a celebration of the craft — from the mundane to the sublime. In each work, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The unexpected becomes unexpectedly beautiful."

On view now at Haynes Galleries in Nashville, Tennessee is a new show dedicated to the still life. Mundane to the Sublime, on view through March 8th, is a celebration of the artist's ability to see the beauty in everyday items, and how these artists can, through their skill, transform the ordinary into the the exceptional. Over 30 artists are in the show, including gallery favorites Kerry Dunn, Victoria Novak, Nancy Depew, Cindy Procious, Philip Michelson, Michael Theise, Grace DeVito, Nicholas M. Raynolds, and Justin Wood.
“Mundane objects make beautiful paintings just as artfully designed arrangements make wonderful art," says Gary Haynes, owner of the gallery. "This exhibit presents the exciting contrasts.”

Its hours are from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Tuesday through Saturday, or by prior appointment. For more information, call (615) 312-7000, or visit www.haynesgalleries.com.
