Trying to rekindle lost wonder

"Regarder le silence'' (mixed media on canvas), by Eric Roux-Fontaine, in his Sept, 1-Sept. 30 show. "Souvenir du Futur,'' at M Fine Arts Galerie, Boston.

The gallery says that "the scenes {he depicts} are oc:urring in a world apart from ours. In a sense, they are, as we become increasingly detached from the nature around us. Roux-Fontaine describes his work as a 'modest attempt to recapture the enchantment of the world,' the enchantment that many of us have forgotten in the modern age. ''Souvenir du Futur'' aims to rekindle that lost wonder, and help us see the beauty in the world around us again.
