Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Offers Exhibit on Landscapes
Joycelyn Audette
Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC's historic SouthEnd District will showcase a variety of paintings which represent the home landscape of seventeen painters from several regions of the United States in the exhibit, Coast to Coast: The American Landscape, on view from Jan. 7 through Feb. 28, 2005.
Greg Barnes
The following artists will offer paintings for the exhibition: Brett Amory, San Francisco; Jocelyn Audette, Calistoga, CA; Greg Barnes, Charlotte, NC; Daniel Bayless, San Francisco; Carl Blair, Greenville, SC; Cid Bolduc, Provincetown, MA; Richard Conn, Landrum, SC; Claire Miller Hopkins, Spartanburg, SC; Robert Irwin, Beaufort, NC; Jill Jones, Spartanburg, SC; Leandro Manzo, Los Angeles, CA; Philip Mullen, Columbia, SC; Hilda Neily, Provincetown, MA; Jack Pardue, Alexandria, VA; Romanos Rizk, Provincetown, MA; Joseph Spangler, Chicago, IL; and Diane Voyentzie, Brookfield, CT .
The participating artists were chosen for the exhibition based upon their unique style and subject matter. Brett Amory's paintings offer a contemporary view of the city of San Francisco by incorporating numerous panels, which are assembled to give the viewer a panoramic look at certain areas of the city. Jocelyn Audette's plein air landscapes concentrate on the rural areas of California with a heavy concentration on the Napa Valley region.
Claire Miller Hopkins and Jack Pardue are both members of the prestigious Pastel Society of America and will contribute paintings that showcase their talent.
Six years ago Romanos Rizk was gazing at the lily pond in Beechwood Forest near Provincetown and realized that he had found a subject that could inspire him, realistically and abstractly. His paintings in Coast to Coast capture both the beauty and allure of this inspirational lily pond.
Hilda Neily and Cid Bolduc offer two entirely different perspectives of the landscape in and around Provincetown and the other Lower Cape towns. Neily's work includes plein air Impressionist landscapes, while Bolduc's paintings depict a more contemporary view of the area.
The paintings by Philip Mullen, Diane Voyentzie and Joseph Spangler capture diverse areas of Colorado, Connecticut and Chicago at different times of the year, which adds an interesting dimension to the exhibition.
