SPRING DAYS group show 2026 Spring symbolizes rebirth, rejuvenation and renewal. In our natural environment, plants begin growth anew after the dormancy of winter. Animals come out of their winter hibernation and begin their nesting and reproducing activities, birds migrate poleward in response to the warmer temperatures. Spring symbolizes fresh starts, hope, fertility and growth. In the history of art, the most famous sculpture representing spring is Auguste Rodin’s Eternal Spring symbolizing new love. Others portray the surreal elements of spring, such as Salvador Dali’s First Day of Spring. Botticelli’s La Primavera is a significant work that illustrates all the elements of spring. In Philosophy, stoic thinkers like Marcus Aurelius viewed spring as moments of discipline and balance. A fresh chance to shed old habits, begin anew, and live deliberately rather than waiting passively for change. Pablo Neruda echoed these sentiments in his famous comment, “You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep spring from coming.”
