The Zoot Art Gallery in Bozeman is pleased to announce its first exhibit of 2025, “Human Nature” presented by Bozeman artist duo Jack Schnepf and Emma Bergman.
Human Nature
Jack Schnepf and Emma Bergman draw inspiration from their upbringing surrounded by nature, creating art that explores the profound connections between people and the natural world. Their work combines stylistic realism with vibrant color, employing charcoal and paint respectively to present depictions of humans, animals, and landscapes.
Their pieces capture their shared values of optimism and hope. Animals serve as personifications of human emotions, inviting viewers to consider the shared essence of existence across species. By focusing on life’s fleeting and grand moments they highlight the passion and beauty in life’s quiet details.
Together, their work seeks to inspire a deeper appreciation for the world and its inhabitants, fostering empathy and a renewed sense of connection with nature and ourselves.
The exhibit will be on view from with a public opening reception Thursday February 19th from 5-7pm at Zoot Enterprises.
