"Seasonal Prairie Flavors"Entry/Object ID
T2025.1.12Description
Artist Statement: For the Gimme a Sign! exhibition, artist Dick Folse responded to the Ripon Ice Cream sign in the Ripon Historical Society collection by producing an oil on aluminum painting suggestive of a companion sign which advertises seasonal prairie flavors from fruits, plants, and trees. The limited-palette painting of the Ceresco Prairie with call-out text of plant flavor locations is reflective of the over 90 paintings Folse has produced about the prairie in the past three years and is a whimsical addition to his oeuvre.Context
