Twin artists and adjunct faculty Bly and Rowan Pope are exhibiting their series Stillness in Bloom at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Their work features realistic depictions of nature in a wide range of mediums from pencil drawings to oil paintings.

The show has 28 works in total, including 3 that are direct collaborations between the brothers. In a statement about the series, Bly noted “I’m hoping visitors take away a sense of calm and caring for nature and the environment, [as well as] a sharper observation of the world around them.”

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
