From simulated cave paintings and a classic oil of Moby Dick to ceramic dog figurines and a shimmering 3D animation of a horse, our April exhibition focuses on creatures real and imagined. As spring revives the landscape and the sounds of crickets and birds fill the air, artists turn their attention to pterodactyls, fire-breathing dragons, swarms of insects, digitally rendered jellyfish, and pampered household pets.
Kirsten Bengtson-Lykoudis (she/her/hers) serves as staff writer, archivist, and curator for NOT REAL ART. She enjoys rambling through NRA’s vast digital archive of contemporary artworks and getting to know the people behind them. After growing up in the Twin Cities, Kirsten darted between Florida, Russia, Sweden, New York, France, Italy, the Aegean Islands, and Washington, DC, before landing in Richmond, Virginia. A former New York gallery director, photographer, caterer, student of Russian literature, devout polyglot, and creative-nonfiction writer, she is currently plotting her next trip to Greece.
