Hilton Head Art Gallery on Hilton Head Island, SC, Features Works by Rod Kerr
Original oils and acrylics
by Rod Kerr will be featured in Paris, Pears and Passions,
which opens on Mar. 2, 2006, at the Hilton Head Art Gallery, on
Hilton Head Island, SC. His work will be displayed through Mar.
30, 2006.
Kerr brings a fascinating palette of vivid colors and complex
sensations to his canvases. He shares an eclectic and very personal
perspective with his viewers, using dramatically powerful images
drawn from his prairie childhood, the dense richness of an Ontario
forest and the beauty and bold shapes of laughing children on
a windswept beach.
"Visitors will truly be drawn into his vibrant work," said Chris Mullaney, president of the Hilton Head Art Gallery. "I am sure patrons will relate strongly to the images Mr. Kerr presents in his work. He is so passionate about his paintings and that passion is what you see in his images."
Kerr received his formal
education in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and spent 31 years as an air
traffic controller at the Toronto Area Control Centre, before
retiring to devote more time to his paintings. He is a member
of several art societies in both Canada and the United States.
Regionally, Kerr's work has been shown in galleries in Beaufort,
Bluffton and Hilton Head Island; and in Savannah, GA. In Canada,
his work has been shown in galleries in White Rock, British Columbia;
Orillia, Niagara on the Lake and Toronto, Ontario. Kerr and his
wife have residences in Niagara on the Lake, Canada, and on Hilton
Head Island.
