“Souls of the Soil” at D&R Greenway

“SOULS OF THE SOIL”: This oil on canvas painting by Marcel Juillerat is featured, along with works by artists Trudy Borenstein-Sugiura, Ifat Shatzky, and Ziya Tarapore, in “Souls of the Soil: Global Roots in Nature,” on view through November 22 at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center. An opening reception is November 1 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

D&R Greenway Land Trust now presents “Souls of the Soil: Global Roots in Nature,” an exhibition multi-media works that explore the importance of nature as manifested in far-flung areas of the globe. It is on view through November 22 at the Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, off Rosedale Road, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on business days.

The public is invited to a free opening reception with the artists on Friday, November 1, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. To register, email rsvp@drgreenway.org or call (609) 924-4646.

Artists Trudy Borenstein-Sugiura, Marcel Juillerat, Ifat Shatzky, and Ziya Tarapore utilize a broad range of materials — from textured fabrics and dyed papers to sculpture and beyond.

Curator Diana Moore intersperses this artwork with wall panel quotes evoking nature, from philosophers ancient and modern, poets, and other artists, including Pablo Picasso. She said she has crafted “Souls of the Soil: Global Roots in Nature” with artists new to the region, who “use dimension to interpret nature on many fronts, extending their own vision of the world and that of the viewer.”

The artwork is also for sale, with a percentage of each sale supporting D&R Greenway’s preservation and stewardship mission.
