The Capital City Arts Initiative presents its exhibition, Mimic, by artist Ahren Hertel at Western Nevada College’s Bristlecone Gallery at 2201 W College Parkway, Carson City. The exhibition will be in the gallery from March 8 – April 23, 2021. The gallery is open to the public, M-F, 9am – 7pm. Due to public health concerns, there will not be an artist’s reception. A virtual tour of the exhibition will come online soon.

Through his paintings, Hertel focuses on both portraiture and landscape, and in this exhibition he creatively blends the two. He said, “Landscape is a participant in forming our identity and setting the stage for our relationship with nature. A bond strong enough to compel us to shroud ourselves in a representation of that place. Our cities in the west are islands surrounded by an ocean of terrain, a great expanse, a distant horizon on a sea of sagebrush. I’m interested in that space. How we see the land, how we remember a place and how we show reverence to something that is so much a part of us.” https://ahrenhertelart.com/home.html
