"Early American" Exhibition by Sharon Core
Trois Gallery, 1600 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.
The exhibitions department presents "Early American," a series of still life photographs by artist Sharon Core based on the paintings of early 19th-century still life painter Raphaelle Peale. In her work, Core engages the concept of illusionism central to the genre of still life and upends the notion of trompe l'oeil by attempting to create a photograph that appears to be a painting.

Trenton Doyle Hancock Lecture: "Bananas for Savannahs"
Tuesday, 7 p.m.,
4C Events Space, 1600 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.
Trenton Doyle Hancock was born in 1974 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and raised in Paris, Texas. Hancock's prints, drawings, and collaged felt paintings work together to tell the story of the Mounds-a group of mythical creatures that are the tragic protagonists of the artist's unfolding narrative. Each new work by Hancock is a contribution to the saga of the Mounds, portraying the birth, life, death, afterlife and even dream states of these half-animal, half-plant creatures. Influenced by the history of painting, especially Abstract Expressionism, Hancock transforms traditionally formal decisions-such as the use of color, language and pattern-into opportunities to create new characters, develop subplots, and convey symbolic meaning. Lecture is free and open to the public. This event is part of deFINE ART fine art festival.
