The Gallery at Carillon in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Peter Alberice and Anatoly Tsiris

The Gallery at Carillon in Charlotte, NC, is presenting a two-person exhibition, entitled Architecture Abstractions: Two Artists' Perspectives, featuring works by Peter Alberice and Anatoly Tsiris on view through Apr. 30, 2010. The exhibit was organized by Hodges Taylor Gallery in Charlotte.

Peter Alberice

Peter Alberice is a practicing architect and artist living in Asheville, NC. He has both bachelor and master degrees in architecture from the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech. Alberice's work has been exhibited in several group shows and galleries in the region and has been purchased by individual and corporate collectors.
 
Alberice's paintings represent an ongoing exploration of the duality of architecture being both abstract and integrated with the natural environment. They can be characterized as a continual study of the horizontal and the vertical, of exterior and interior space and, of the land and the sky. Alberice's works are a means to this exploration of shapes as definers of space. The paintings are acrylic on canvas or mixed media on paper.

Anatoly Tsiris

Anatoly Tsiris, a professional craftsman and artist who creates large vessels, was born into a family of schoolteachers in the small Ukrainian town called Kmelnitsky. Carrying on the family tradition, he graduated from Shevchenko Institute of Pedagogy in Lugansk, Ukraine with a teaching degree in math and science. Tsiris currently lives in Charlotte working as a full time artist. He has been recognized nationally and his work is available in a number of galleries.

Thanks to Tsiris's previous metalworking experience, the technical side rarely puts any limits on his imagination. He prefers to work on a large scale and is attracted to unusual pieces of wood, seeing the beauty in the irregularities. What someone else would probably consider a defect Tsiris sees the unique personality of the piece-of-art-to-be. "Every piece of wood has a 'personality', a 'story' enclosed in it", states Tsiris. "My job is to let it out."

The exhibition is sponsored by Hines Charlotte Carillon LP.
