UNC Asheville in Asheville, NC, Offers
National Drawing Exhibition
UNC Asheville in Asheville, NC, is presenting
the exhibit, Drawing Discourse, the university's second
annual national juried drawing exhibition, juried by Alex Kanevsky,
on view in the S. Tucker Cooke Gallery in Owen Hall through Feb.
15, 2011.
Kanevsky reviewed some 529 entries submitted by 167 artists from
across the nation. Just 31 pieces were accepted into the show.
A native of Russia, Kanevsky teaches at the Pennsylvania Academy
of Fine Arts and has exhibited across North America and Europe.
His work is included in the permanent collection of the Achenbach
collection, San Francisco Museum of Fine Arts, and the deYoung
Museum Legion of Honor. Kanevsky has received the prestigious
Pew Fellowship for painting, and his art has been reviewed by
the Los Angeles Times, New York Observer and Philadelphia
Inquirer.
"With this exhibit, we're examining drawing as it is practiced
and defined by today's artists," said Tamie Beldue, UNC Asheville
assistant professor of art and coordinator of the exhibit. "Our
students, like the working artists in this exhibit, are using
conventional and innovative methods, sometimes combining different
approaches. The art of drawing is alive and evolving, as this
exhibit will show."
