Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville, NC, Features Work by John Franklin and David Duffus
The Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville, NC, is pleased to announce two new exhibitions. John Franklin: Recent Paintings will be on view through Oct. 28 and Island in the Sun: Images of Ocracoke by David Duffus will be shown through Dec. 31.
Included in the exhibition John Franklin: Recent Paintings is a selection of abstract paintings made in Kyoto, Japan in 1999 and Princeton, NJ, in 2000 and 2001. All of these paintings are painstakingly crafted and use some form of grid. By using a grid format, Franklin's paintings at first glance appear hard, impersonal and uniform, but on closer examination they display tremendous variety with their pleasurable use of paint, satin ribbon and silk fabric, Franklin states "these paintings are about contemplation, they are about pain and paint, they are about joy and they are largely about interconnectedness."
David Duffus, a Greenville, NC, attorney and photographer, has combined his love of Ocracoke Island with his love of photography in the exhibition titled, Island In The Sun: Images Of Ocracoke By David Duffus. This exhibition will include 12 to 15 stunning color photographs of Ocracoke, NC. For those who have been to Ocracoke many of these images will be familiar; those who have not will be in awe of this "island in the sun". Duffus has been a professional photographer since 1988 and, since 1993, has utilized large format cameras to capture images all over the world.
