Helena Fox Fine
Art in Charleston, SC, Features Group Exhibition
Inspired by the Maritime Muses, The Siren Call of the Sea and Shore is an exhibition of fine art by America's premier representational marine and landscape artists, on view from Nov. 6 - 27, 2009, at Helena Fox Fine Art in Charleston, SC. William R. Davis, Donald Demers, West Fraser, Joseph McGurl, Kenn Backhaus, John Budicin, William McCullough, Billyo O'Donnell and Kent Ullberg, who all happen to be friends, come together at Helena Fox Fine Art, for an exhibition showcasing paintings and sculpture influenced by the allure of the sea.
Since the beginning of history, mankind has been inescapably drawn to the sea, acknowledging her beauty and serenity, honoring her mystery and feasting on her bounty. Homer wrote in many passages of the ocean's seductive muses. The attraction has proved to be everlasting and all encompassing. People today remain enchanted by seagoing vessels at work and play, maritime flora and fauna, and the luminous shores by the sea.
Helena Fox Fine Art specializes in fine contemporary representational art. Established in 2004, the gallery features a compilation of work by national and international artists, most particularly West Fraser. The varied collection mingles impressionistic landscapes and streetscapes, plein-air paintings, realistic still lifes and trompe l'oeil, with wildlife sculpture and exquisite, handcrafted 22K gold jewelry. Representing Sarah Amos, Kenn Backhaus, John Budicin, Donald Demers, Mary Erickson, Marie Fox, West Fraser, William McCullough, Billyo O'Donnell, Becky Parrish, Edward Rice and Kent Ullberg.
