Monet to Dali: Modern Masters from the Cleveland Museum of Art (Ingram Galleries)
This exhibition brings together more than 75 acclaimed European paintings and sculptures from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including works by Paul Cézanne, Salvador Dalí, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat and Vincent Van Gogh.
Angelo Filomeno: Eros and Thanatos (Gordon Contemporary Artists Project Gallery)
Angelo Filomeno's embroidered "paintings" depict fragments of animals, plants, and skeletons, which are juxtaposed to symbolize epic struggles between life and death, sexuality and decay, evil and redemption. Despite their psychological tension and implicit brutality, the works are highly ornamental with luxurious threads and glass crystals masterfully sewn and appliquéd in neo-baroque designs onto sheets of Shantung silk.
