Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Exhibit by Brian Rutenberg
Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is pleased to announce their second solo exhibition for New York based artist, Brian Rutenberg. The exhibition will open Jan. 5, in conjunction with Charlotte's monthly gallery crawl, and will continue through Feb. 24, 2001.
Rutenberg has established a reputation as one of the best abstract pointers working today. These new paintings further extend his belief in the notion that a painting is a canopy under which the identity and feelings of the artist blur with those of the viewer through the sheer transformative power of looking, that to experience a painting is to essentially experience.
Rutenberg has always wanted to interpret the changing of seasons on a large scale in oil paint, in the past he had done this subject on works on paper. However, the intention in these Four Seasons is not to suggest the passing of time, a moot point in abstraction, but to create four imaginary worlds which are less about the landscape than about the grafting of the human imagination onto the sensuality of the painted mark.
