Artists' Guild of Spartanburg in Spartanburg, SC, Features Works by Carole Knudson Tinsley
The Artists' Guild of Spartanburg is presenting an exhibit of works by Carole Knudson Tinsley in the Spartanburg Arts Center Guild Gallery in Spartanburg, SC. The exhibit will be on view through Feb. 1, 2005.
Tinsley paints in water-media, often integrating collage into her impressionistic and abstract works. She has been painting a series involving ancient cultures, primarily those ancestors and descendants of American Indians, in order to provide a glimpse into that culture. Her textural compositions express rhythm and movement, while, she said, "leaving some mystery for the viewers to use their imagination" when interpreting her work.
"The shapes and forms used in my paintings are abstract, nonobjective, and sometimes impressionistic. I attempt to interpret the contrasting forms in rhythm and movement while also expressing textural qualities. My aim is for a strong, dynamic design," Tinsley said. "If my paintings appear as a mere fragment of an ancient, but enduring mystery, my wish is that the viewer will feel that spirit."
The artist, whose gallery is located in Greenville, has works in private and corporate collections throughout the United States and in other countries.
