The pastel "Harvesting Skies" by Jennifer Homan is among the works that will be on display in the gallery space on Level 1 of the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center.

The gallery space on Level 1 of the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center will host the exhibition “Inspiration – Selections from Modern Arts Midtown” through April 13.

Modern Arts Midtown is a contemporary fine art gallery located in midtown Omaha, featuring a variety of distinctive artworks by local and regional artists. It offers a collection of abstract and traditional art, including painting, sculpture, photography and textiles.

“Yellows” by Ann Pape

The gallery’s goal is to provide a bridge between the spirit of the artist and that of the viewer. “Inspiration” highlights the work of seven Nebraska artists: Mads Anderson, Stephen Dinsmore, Jennifer Homan, Michael James, Jacqueline Kluver, Ann Pape and Larry Roots. The inspirations of these artists include light, nature and emotion, which they depict realistically or expressively. Each work aims to captivate the viewer with its color and texture.

The layered constructions of James and Kluver combine shapes and patterns to create depth and richness in the expanse. Dinsmore and Homan embrace the landscape, Dinsmore with his brilliant and emotional use of color and Homan with her amazing skies. Similarly, Pape’s impasto combines the real with the expressive in forming floral designs. The tactile lines of Anderson and Roots engage color to encourage contemplation and reflection. Together, the vibrant colors and alluring compositions create a visual conversation, bringing inspiration and healing to the viewer.

UNMC and Nebraska Medicine’s Healing Arts Program thanked Modern Arts Midtown for the loan of these artworks and assistance in organizing the exhibition. To learn more about these artists and Modern Arts Midtown, visit the gallery online.
