Painting of Dale Fairbanks Featured in Exhibition at the Rainforest Arts Foundation Gallery, New York City

So Rang the Bellwether , a painting by Dale Fairbanks is included in the Rainforest Art Foundation's group exhibition, "Rainforest Art," which opens April 10 in New York City. The exhibition is curated by Marlene Yu.

The 120" x 72" oil on linen painting is an abstraction of the rain forest theme, and depicts the ominous warning of man's intrusion into the untouched and pristine rain forest. "So Rang the Bellwether called me to wake-up, pay attention, come out of my house and witness a vast and deadly intrusion of man into the virgin landscape of the rain forest," said Fairbanks. "I was unprepared for the impact of oil on linen, the ominous fires, the shafts of light that forced their way through the lush greens to pierce my complacency."

Other artists in the exhibition include Dennis Cady, Po Yen Chang, Maria Faba, Kotaro Fukui, Jane Greer, Enriquetta Hueso, Jian Kang Jin, Zara Kriegstein, Kun Ho Lu, Jean Miotte, Masaaki Noda, Joseph Palermo, Bing Shi Shih, and Marlene Yu.

Dale Fairbanks' paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and cultural centers throughout the United States, including the Anchorage Museum of History and Art in Anchorage, Alaska; the Switzer Center for Visual Arts, Pensacola Junior College in Pensacola, Florida; Trinity Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia; the Touchstone Gallery in Washington, D.C.; and the Art Center of Northern New Jersey, New Milford, New Jersey. Her work can be viewed online at www.dalefairbanks.com
