Shain Gallery
in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Christy Kinard & Darren
Young
Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will present and exhibit of new works by Christy Kinard and Darren Young, on view from Oct. 9 - 31, 2009. These artists offer a contrast of paintings from mixed media collages to atmospheric landscapes.
Christy Kinard
Christy Kinard's natural
talent and excitement for art has been developing since her early
childhood in Georgia and her style is a unique and self-defined
expression of her southern roots. She studied at the Atlanta College
of Art as well as the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Kinard's mixed media collages of acrylic paint, torn papers and
stencils are sometimes painted on wood boxes created by her father,
or other found objects such as door panels. Her work includes
various themes of animals and bugs, vegetables, flowers and still
life pieces.
Kinard's work can be found in both private and corporate collections including the IBM office in Atlanta and the N.A.L.L. Association in Vence, France. She has participated in over 25 exhibitions and her work has been published in Southern Living, Atlanta Homes Book, the Piedmont Review (Atlanta) and the Brunswick News (Sea Island, GA).
Darren Young
Darren Young has shown an interest in art since early youth. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from East Carolina University and a Master's Degree in Painting from Indiana University. His emphasis on painterly brushstroke, strong contrast and a rich palette, inspire his creation of imaginary and ethereal landscapes. Bright colors and the contrast between light and strong shadows give his work its style. Young also enjoys the strong sense of emotion created by different brush marks and printmaking rollers on canvas.
