Green Rice Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by David French, Wendy Arundel, and Cher Cosper
An exhibition all about Charlotte's people and places by local artists David French, Wendy Arundel, and Cher Cosper opens Oct. 5 at Green Rice Gallery in Charlotte, NC. The exhibit continues through Oct. 27, 2007.
David French
David French, an oil painter on wood and canvas brings to life images that he believes are among the most popular and recognizable places in Charlotte. Most of the locations he paints, such as Anderson's, Athens, and the Coffee Cup, evoke nostalgia and show a part of Charlotte's history some of which is quickly disappearing from our present. French describes his style as modern realism and says he is inspired by the works of Edward Hopper and Van Gogh and by his painting mentor, Starr Davis a Charlotte artist and resident.
Wendy Arundel
Also showing is Charlotte artist, Wendy Arundel. Using acrylic paints on canvas Arundel depicts some of her favorite scenes and establishments in Charlotte. Her works are light hearted with a sense of humor while attempting to show a slightly skewed viewpoint on reality. First inspired by the growing Charlotte skyline, she began painting on her own and has continued since then as a self-taught artist.
The third artists being featured is Cher Cosper. She paints in an impressionistic and bold style often using wild colors, which she intends to represent the energy she feels from a particular subject or scene. Inspired by Vuillard, Monet, Renoir, and Ben Long she depicts her own enthusiasm for a particular scene. Cosper often looks at a familiar place and paints as if it were transported to France or Italy creating a romanticized impression of an everyday location.
