Tiemaker's Gallery in Charleston, SC, Offers Works by Emily Jenkins
Tiemaker's
Gallery in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibition, Big
Bold Abstracts, featuring works by Emily K. Jenkins from Apr.
9 - 30, 2004.
Jenkins is a young contemporary artist whose strong abstract paintings
celebrate color and stroke. "My work uses pure color and
the act of painting to create harmony and dissonance in a visual
language. The combination of color sets up a movement among the
contrasting colors. In my work, the expressive quality of the
paint creates its own rhythms, its own structure," states
the artist. Jenkins' work is rooted in the abstract works of abstract
expressionism, color field painting and west coast abstractionism.
Jenkins first began painting with oils at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. Shortly after graduating in 1995 with a double major in Studio Art and English, she then moved to Charleston. She has been painting since 1992, and has been painting full-time since 2000. Jenkins is also co-owner of Tiemaker's Gallery, which opened in 2000. She has exhibited her work throughout the area since 1997, and was chosen for the Piccolo Spoleto Juried Art Exhibition in 2000 and 2001.
Tiemaker's Gallery will be open Wed-Fri 12-4pm during the exhibit or by appointment.
