Adonna Khare's artwork is on display
November 21 – March 23, 2025 @ William King Museum of Art
"Animal Instinct: The Drawings of Adonna Khare" is on display at William King Museum of Art, Abingdon, Virginia, beginning Nov. 21.
Khare is a world-renowned, American master carbon-pencil artist. Her style has been compared to the photo-realistic illustrations of Audubon, but the surreal worlds and strange inhabitants she creates can only spring from her imagination. Khare’s life-size works possess the scope of a painting, but with enough detail and realism to give viewers the impression that they can step through the paper and into Khare's worlds.
She explains, “...I consider all these beasts of burden as symbols of the human condition; however, the pieces also reflect joy...”.
