A Bayou State of Mind
A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana鈥檚 culture, traditions, history, land, and spirit, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state鈥檚 unique character. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rab茅 Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment.
A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by renowned artist George Rodrigue. Originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura, Rodrigue鈥檚 imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. His labor of love, spanning three years, includes the first appearance of Rodrigue鈥檚 iconic 鈥淏lue Dog鈥濃攈is cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany鈥攎arking a defining moment in the artist's career. Additional artists included in the exhibition: Ben Depp, Johanna Warwick, James Michalopoulos, Nathalie Miebach, Vitus Shell, Jesse Allison, Derick Ostrenko, Ron Bechet, John T. Scott, Shirley Rab茅 Masinter, Malaika Favorite, Carl Joe Williams, Eric Waters, Gene Koss, Hunt Slonem, Rolland Golden, Tina Freeman, Carrie Mae Weems, Janice Sachse, Elemore Morgan, Jr., Robert Warrens, Letitia Huckaby, Jonathan Bachman, Richard Misrach, Debbie Fleming Caffery, Dawn DeDeaux, David Freese, Thomas Neff, Michael Frederic Daugherty, Sidney Garrett, Steve Rucker, Jamey Grimes, and George Rodrigue.
