NASHVILLE— Haynes Galleries will usher in spring with “Celebrating the Portrait as Art,” a diverse, well-curated collection of works by some of today’s most exciting contemporary Realists. The exhibit will be on view from April 18 to May 24 at Haynes Galleries, on the Music Row Roundabout. An opening reception will take place on Friday, April 18 from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
Westerberg’s work is a study in contrasts — at once timeless and timely, soft and arresting, straightforward and mysterious. His portrayals of women are hauntingly beautiful, while his beguiling, dark, back-to-the-viewer self-portrait recently received the First Merit Award in the Portrait Society of America’s “Outside the Box” category.
