Cuvée Wine + Art Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Amy Steinberg
Cuvée
Wine + Art Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is presenting the exhibition,
Alice in Paris, featuring a new series of original works
by Amy Steinberg, on view from Apr. 5 through May 28, 2005.
Steinberg is a painter whose work is based on voyages of the mind,
travels both real and imagined to far away places. All works are
based on an imaginary trip to Paris as "Alice in Wonderland".
Each painting is filled with bold colors and dynamic imagery.
"I like to capture a place,
be it ancient India or contemporary Paris, at a precise and fleeting
point in time," said Steinberg. The Cuvée Wine +
Art Gallery is the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine
and enjoy original works of art. Cuvée is unique to Charlotte
with its European atmosphere and sophisticated menu. "I was
inspired by this European atmosphere to create a series of paintings
that take the viewer away to the capital of France!," adds
Steinberg.
"Cuvée Wine + Art Gallery was opened to fill a void
in Charlotte something unique and different from traditional
chain restaurants and bars. It is an open atmosphere that entices
both the mind as well as your taste buds," says Cuvée
wner/proprietor Emily Sangiovanni. "Amy Steinberg's artwork
is a wonderful representation of what I want my customers to experience.
Here you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday
life take a virtual trip to Paris through Amy Steinberg's artwork
and enjoy fine wines from around the world!"
Sangiovanni has combined exquisite tapas, wine bar, and relaxing
live music to create the hippest hang out in Charlotte. The walls
are covered with original artwork including the new exhibit by
Steinberg.
Steinberg was raised in an ethnically
homogenous community in Idaho before moving to Hawaii, California
and eventually Charlotte. The ideas for her current work have
their roots in her studies of cultural anthropology and religion. Steinberg's
artwork is inspired by the work of San Francisco artist Fain Hancock. She
admires the tactility of Wayne Thiebaud and the masterful shifts
of color in the work of Georgia O'Keeffe.
Steinberg's artwork may be found; in art galleries such as Soho
Myriad (Atlanta, GA), Monsoon Gallery (Bethlehem, PA), and at
local exhibits including Cuvée Wine + Art Gallery.
