The Brandywine Museum of Art in Chadds Ford will open a major exhibition by artist Jamie Wyeth, writes staff for Chester County Press.

The exhibit, entitled Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled, is a collection of more than 50 works by the renowned artist that have been drawn from various museums and private collections. Unsettled is set to be on display from now until June 9.

“This exhibition takes a fresh look at the artist’s oeuvre and with remarkable nuance plumbs a rich vein of the uncanny throughout Wyeth’s six-decade career.” said Thomas Padon, the James H. Duff director of the Brandywine Museum.

“Unsettled focuses on a single through line in Wyeth’s work—one in which ominous stillness, post-apocalyptic skies, frightening shifts in scale, and strange vantage points highlight the vulnerability of the human condition.” 

Wyeth has been a long-standing figure in the contemporary art world, having cultivated and mastered various art trends over the last 60 years.

Unsettled will immerse its viewers into a haunting world, inspired by Wyeth’s dark imagination and amplified by his vivid use of colors and themes of the supernatural.  

“Across the decades, Wyeth has honed his attention onto unnerving phenomena, zeroed in on uncanny experiences, and delved into a world of unsettling imagery,” said Amanda C. Burdan, Ph.D., the senior curator at Brandywine and curator of the exhibition.
