Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon, NC, Features Works by Jerry La Point
Tryon Painters and Sculptors will host an exhibition of works by Jerry La Point, from Jan. 7 through Feb. 1, 2005, at the Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon, NC.
La Point received his Bachelor of Fine Arts, (Painting and Illustration) from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. He is a member of Oil Painters of America. His works in oils include landscape, figurative and architectural themes.
Having returned to oil painting five years ago, La Point feels it should have been his top priority, as it is what he really loves to do. He states that he has become sensitive to the pigment quality on the canvas, that the paint itself is an object of art. La Point feels it has a life of its own and has drawn him to more abstract expressions. He considers himself an impressionist, in that he only wants to capture the fleeting essence of the motif.
