Akron, Ohio.- The Akron Art Museum is proud to present two new exhibitions opening on October 29th. “Supernatural: Landscapes by Bruce Checefsky and Barry Underwood” will be on view until March 4th 2012, while “Michelle Droll: Landslide – Between a Rock and a Place” will remain on view until February 19th 2012. Both exhibitions present very distinctive and skewed view of landscapes and complement the museum’s presentation of “Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism,” an exhibition of more than 50 impressionist paintings which also opens on October 29th. Checefsky and Underwood both utilize the effects of atmospheric light in addition to outside light sources to create ephemeral moments in the landscape that give viewers the sense of discovering hidden worlds.
