Earthly Delights
On April 17, 2021 Miller Gallery celebrated the opening of Earthly Delights. Three South Carolina-based artists explore their interpretation of the theme. Curated in an immersive 900 square foot exhibition space, guests will experience a monumental forest by Filbert, vibrant gilt paintings by Osmond, and decadent culinary illustrations by Nerney.
Greenville’s Charlotte Filbert has spent the majority of her free time during COVID-19 in the forested mountains surrounding her town. These serene moments have found their way onto the surfaces of her hand stretched, large-as-life canvases. Eight canvases, each five inches thick, transport the viewer into a marvelously textural woodland.
When asked about the delights of the world in relationship to her artistry, Osmond bridges her sources of inspiration. “The process of researching my artwork is the most satisfying to me. I love to read about physics, biology, zen practice, community tragedy, and history and then work on finding the connections between those facets and constructing an aesthetic landscape.
Nerney finds endless delight in the farm-to-table element of contemporary dining, with the joyful presence of loved ones — something we’ve all been yearning for this past year.
