Charleston Art Gallery & Portrait Studio in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Aring
The
Charleston Art Gallery & Portrait Studio in Charleston, SC,
will host a visiting exhibition through Apr. 30, 2004, entitled,
That Which Inspires, featuring watercolors and oils, by
the award winning artist, Aring, of Aiken, SC.
Aring's works can be found in private collections around the world.
Having lived and traveled around the world, Aring continues to
travel and paint. The artist says, "Anywhere I go I always
have supplies to capture what inspires and moves me."
"That Which Inspires is a very strong collection,"
says Cecile Langham Cothran, gallery owner. "Aring's academic
training is quite evident in the deft handling of the medium,
and the depth of emotion evoked by the work is indicative of a
passion for the subject matter."
"Aring's genre paintings enable you to share the artist's
experience of the place," says Cothran, "and to see
yourself enjoying it as well." There are European scenes
as well as Charleston scenes, with a strong emphasis on the human
figure. With a bachelor's degree in studio art and art history
as well as a masters from Lander University, the artist continues
to study with graduate classes from Furman University and is a
certified South Carolina art teacher who has earned National Board
Certification and is a National Arts Education member as well
as a member of Aiken Artist Guild.
