REALISM FOUND: Charlotte Artists Find New Meaning in an Old Tradition
March 31, 2009, Charlotte, NC
– Katherine Blackwell, Cher Cosper, David Thayer French, Joshua Gage, Paul Keysar, Andrew Leventis, Osiris Rain, and P. S. Thibodeaux
will display their work June 1-30, 2009, in an exhibit titled “Realism Found: Charlotte Artists Find New Meaning in an Old Tradition”,
at The Queen’s Gallery, 1212 The Plaza, Charlotte, NC 28205.
The opening reception is Friday, June 5, 2009, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Artists will be in attendance. A second reception is planned during “The Krawl” a Saturday night event in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood (date tbd). Regular gallery hours are Tuesdays through Fridays 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. These eight artists, though bonded together through their love of representational art, each find different ways to express their creative talents within the genre.
Katherine Blackwell has found her artistic voice in her "Melty People", a concentration spawned from years of youthful sketches contorting and manipulating the human body.
Cher Cosper’s work includes post-impressionist style paintings with bold colors and nude drawings.
David Thayer French’s focus has been on the changing facades of his home town, Charlotte, NC, and the artist enclave of NoDa.
Joshua Gage specializes in decorative and fine art...
Paul Keysar is recognized for his classic, representational oil paintings and is known for the use of light, atmosphere, and weather in his landscapes. Andrew Leventis uses a precise painting style to draw attention to the classification of things and investigate the problems that arise from containing heterogeneous objects within a single framework.
Osiris Rain’s current work reflects on the tide of emotions, their pull on the heart, and their effect on memory; from large allegories to smaller composed objects.
P. S. Thibodeaux’s ongoing series of allegorical paintings, “Reminders”, are dreamscapes containing symbolic messages about life’s lessons.
For more information about this exhibit, please contact Jennifer Keysar at 704-596-1286 or jenn@paulkeysar.com; for directions to the gallery call 704-373-2993. ___________________________________________
