Florida Artists Hall of Framer to exhibit “Visions of the Gulf" collection in Apalachicola

"And My Father Before Me" by Christopher Still

On Wednesday March 23, between the hours of 2:00PM and 5:00PM Florida Artists Hall of Famer Christopher Still we be on hand at the Apalachicola Museum of Art with a selection of paintings from the “Visions of the Gulf" exhibition at the Appleton Museum of Art in Ocala.

This one day showing will give Art lovers an opportunity to meet Still, who’s widely acclaimed for his paintings depicting the landscape, and history of Florida.

Still’s paintings can be found in museums and private collections including the Smithsonian Institute, Governor’s Mansion of Florida, Tampa International Airport and the Chambers of the Florida House of Representatives in Tallahassee.

He was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2010. His recent work "And My Father Before Me" has received much acclaim and features the Evans Family of Carrabelle oystering in Apalachicola Bay.

A small selection of other works from the "Visions of the Gulf" exhibition which feature the beauty of Apalachicola and the surrounding area will also be on display.

“Christopher Still is one of the state’s most respected painters both for his awe-inspiring skill with the brush as well as his devotion to Florida themes in his work. From gorgeous sunsets over the water to charming scenes capturing the spirit and culture of the Seminoles to the large scale narrative murals in the Capitol illustrating important aspects of our state’s past and present, Still puts paint to canvas in honor of Florida as no artist has done before, “ explains Appleton Museum of Art's curator of exhibitions Ruth Grim.

The Apalachicola Museum of Art is located at 96 5th Street in historic Apalachicola. For more information, telephone Still at (727) 942-4513 or send email to christopherstill04@gmail.com, or visit www.christopherstill.com/.
