Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Presents a Retrospective Exhibit of Works by Juan Logan
Elder
Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will present a thirty-year retrospective
of the work by North Carolina artist Juan Logan with the exhibition,
Thirty Years of Creating Art, on view from Nov. 4 - 30,
2005.
Logan's work has been featured in over 250 solo and group exhibitions
across the country including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the
North Carolina Museum of Art, the Cleveland Center for Contemporary
Art, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, the Carnegie
Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Speaking about his art, Logan states, "I've
never been a great talker. Making art is how I relate the best.
The more I work, the more I realize I'm still looking for a way
of talking." Logan's artwork inspires the viewer to ponder
what the artist is saying and challenges the viewer to carry on
an imaginary dialogue with the artist.
"Traditionally, as a culture, we talk about the things we
believe in rather than practice those things," says Logan.
Thirty Years of Creating Art explores the life and times
of an African-American artist who has heard much conversation
of what people believe. His exhibition graphically depicts actions
that people have taken which both support and contradict what
they purport.
The exhibit showcases the vast artistic talent that Logan has
developed over three decades. Paintings, sculpture, mixed media
and print-making will tell Logan's story as we travel into his
world.
Logan's work is included in over sixty corporate
and public collections including the Philadelphia Museum of Art,
the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the Museum of African American
Art of Los Angeles and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He
has received grants and fellowships from many sources, including
the John Michael Kohler Arts Center- Arts/Industry Program; the
North Carolina Arts Council, the Lannan Foundation; Phillip Morris
Corporation; University of North Carolina; and the McColl Center
for Visual Arts Residency.
Logan is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies
in Studio Art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Logan will participate in a gallery talk beginning at 7pm on Nov. 4, 2005, at Elder Gallery.
