Red Clover Gallery in Landrum, SC,
Features Works by Irene Hahn
Red Clover Gallery in Landrum, SC, will present an exclusive showing of Irene Hahn's unique folk art, which celebrates the great diversity of the horse. The exhibition will be on view from Sept. 5 through Oct. 2, 2008.
Two of Tryon, NC's great loves, art and horses,
have found yet another avenue of merger in the unique art media
of Irene Hahn.
Twelve years ago, the official publication of the American Driving
Society, The Whip, carried an article applauding the few
octogenarians still competing in carriage driving. Hahn was
included then, and now in 2008, at age 92, she is making
her debut as an artist! Using mixed media in every piece,
Hahn's fascination with all things equine documents her ninety-plus
years interacting with horses.
From the gentle team of Nebraska workhorses
who became her childhood babysitter, through the years in Michigan
breeding and supplying competition ponies and horses for all deserving
children, to the Thoroughbred track as owner and trainer, Hahn
has much to share. In the past fifteen years, she has
developed a technique depicting a two dimensional equine
sculpture in all disciplines - dressage, hunting, carriage driving,
rodeo, racing, polo, and of course, horses at play. These
pieces are then painted and placed on simple backgrounds to exemplify
their spirit.
Please join her friends Pat Kimura, Dale Govus and Bertie Phayer,
Registered Art Therapist Merilyn Field and, of course, Red Clover
Gallery owner, Celia Kudro as we welcome Hahn from Camden to share
her works and wisdom.
