Thomas Broadbent, "Shared Territory" Opening Reception

A solo exhibition of oil and watercolor paintings by Thomas Broadbent. In this new series, he examines the intersection of nature and human-made environments, portraying animals amid the ordinary remnants of human life. His compositions present thoughtful and lyrical reflections on the changing relationship between humanity and the natural world. Broadbent’s style blends careful scientific observation with a contemporary reimagining of the symbolism characteristic of 17th-century Dutch still life painting. Drawing inspiration from that historical tradition, he reinterprets its visual language for a modern context, weaving together classical references with present-day environmental concerns.
