The exhibition presents works by seven\ncontemporary artists who use nature as a starting point for their art. Through\ntheir contact with elements from the natural environment and as part of their\ncreative process, the artists gain new experiences, recall old memories and\ncreate new ones, express their thoughts and concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
