Details About Artist Bio Shipping 4.5 X 6.5 inches © 2015 Graphite and Gold Leaf on Paper Framed Modern Eden Gallery presents Golden, an art show inspired by gold and featuring wor
ks that go beyond the mere material application to embody the cultural and historical implications of what is ‘golden’. Throughout history—from the gilded palaces and monuments of the ancient world to the golden Baroque-style halls of Versailles—gold has been used to symbolize power, wealth, and prosperity. The lust for gold has inspired centuries of westward migration in search of lost cities of gold, roads paved with gold, and river valleys full of gold. Artists and craftsmen have used gold for thousands of years to engender status and to decorate gods and noblemen alike. Today in popular culture, gold is still a symbol used to represent the fabulous and fancy. Zoe Keller is an illustrator and graphic designer seeking a deeper understanding of nature through drawing. Since graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland she has explored the many lakes of Minneapolis, the rocky coast of eastern Maine and New York’s sleepy Hudson Valley. She is interested in the intersection of activism, the natural sciences and art making.
