In the spirit of Easter, Magic Pony would like to invite you to a
show all about bunnies. Touch My Bunny is a group show that
features ten different artists presenting rabbit-art. The exhibit
runs Thursday, March 24 to Monday, April 18 & opens March 24 from
7-11PM at the Magic Pony Gallery.
The selected artists presenting work all have a special connection
with these cute and gentle creatures . Each artist has chosen to present
bunnies in a slightly different way and the exhibit encompasses a
mix of original drawings and paintings, prints, embroidery, installation
and dolls. The original pagan roots of Easter focused around the bunny
as a symbol of life and throughout time that symbol has remained despite
the change in meaning behind Easter. Today, bunnies are more popular
that ever and seem to be a common theme among many artists. This show
examines the growing appearance of rabbits in contemporary artists
visual work. When questioned some artists will tell you it's the ears,
or the shy and genteel nature of the bunny. Others relate it to childhood
or choose to use the bunny in a contrasting nature - cute mixed with
a darker side.
Instantly appealing and amusing to observe, Touch My Bunny
is a celebration of Spring and good things to come.
