Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash, NC, Features Group Exhibition in B & W
Beginning Jan. 5 and
running through Jan. 30, 2004, Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash,
NC, is featuring the works of several artists in a show titled
Black & White.
Karen Edgar
Gallery owner and director
Ginny Lassiter said, "I love the drama and elegance found
in simple black and white pieces. Karen Edgar's Jazzman
is breathtaking." The piece to which Lassiter refers is a
stunning 40-inch x 30-inch hand-rubbed charcoal and black pastel
work on white illustration board by Myrtle Beach, SC, artist Karen
Edgar.
Dramatic black & white offerings by photographers are being
featured as well. Columbia, SC, photographer Robin Smith has exhibited
at the Columbia Museum of Art. Chip Smith of Murrells Inlet, SC,
is well known for his Lowcountry writings and photography. Doug
Kazantzis' beautifully composed shots of the coast are also in
the mix.
Les Powell
The show's three-dimensional
pieces include Les Powell's most unusual Horsehair Raku. He places
bisque fired pottery in a gas-fired kiln, bringing the temperature
up to 1,250 degrees. He then removes the pot and places the long
hairs from the tail of a horse on the surface. The hairs immediately
start to dance and curl, leaving a permanent, lightening-like
pattern on the pot's surface.
Also being featured are the works of Cathy Johnson, Cindy Weaver,
Scott Summerfield, Keith White, David McCune, Ann Dowless, Bobby
Phillips Thom Kitteridge and Yvonne Hegney.
Sunset River Marketplace
showcases more than 150 artists - all from North & South Carolina.
