Gallery C in Raleigh,
NC, Features Works by Carl Krabill and Dennis Revitzky
Gallery C in
Raleigh, NC, is proud to announce the exhibition, Summer Selections,
an annual forum for new artists to the gallery, featuring works
by landscape painters: Carl Krabill and Dennis Revitzky. The exhibit
will be on view from July 7 through Sept. 5, 2006.
Krabill and Revitzky have
had long careers both as painters and as art instructors.
Each has now retired from teaching to pursue painting full-time.
Both have also found their inspiration in nature but that
is where the similarities end.
Carl Krabill
Krabill, who lives half
the year in his native Ohio and half the year in Raleigh, paints
with a wide palette of intense color. His canvases are almost
abstract in their compositions and painterly use of the medium.
Color is the overriding factor throughout, whether he is
painting a stand of trees or a quite creek bed. Krabill builds
each large scale work in a series of layers beginning with pure
color and light and ending with the details that elegantly suggest
a landscape we know. Krabill has received the American Council
of Learned Societies' grant and, in 1966, was awarded a Juror's
Mention for a painting in the Cleveland Museum of Art Show.
Dennis Revitsky
New York resident Dennis Revitzky is a painter and printmaker fascinated with texture and he has been mixing media for years to heighten the effects of his dramatic compositions. Each oil and mixed-media painting begins as a collage of modeling paste and various other materials on stretched canvas. Revitzky applies the modeling paste with a palette knife to create textured areas. Pieces of cloth or burlap, sand and occasionally rope may also be found imbedded in the paste. Mixtures of dark oil paint are brushed into this sealed, textured collage and then wiped with rags in a similar manner to the inking and wiping of a collagraph printing plate. Revitzky has shown his work extensively and has pieces in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC to name a few.
