Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features
Works by Daniel Bayless
Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will present the exhibit, Daniel
Bayless, Solo Exhibition, on view from Jan. 7 through Feb.
26, 2011. An artist reception will be held on Friday, Jan. 7,
2011, from 6-8pm.
San Francisco-based artist, Daniel Bayless, is a traveling man.
His widely-sought-after paintings of urban and rural scenes are
proof that there is beauty in all things natural. Bayless' recent
paintings can be described as atmospheric, passionate, and reflective
of places we all have been, either literally or in our imaginations.
He takes the viewer into a world filled with rain, fog, sunlight
and colorfrom cold and damp to warm and bright. A simple spot
of color on an umbrella transforms a cold, rainy scene into one
of intrigue and warmth.
"I want to evoke the charge, or feeling, of what a scene
means to me when I look at it," Bayless says. "The vitality
of the color, the energy between the viewer and the subject, whether
it's a vibrating, sunny landscape or a still controlled interior;
those are dynamics important to me."
Bayless' bold colors, rich impasto and aggressive brush strokes
reaffirm his belief that beauty and serenity are always present
for us to see, if we only look for them.
Elder Gallery's exhibition features twenty-five new paintings
which promise to intrigue and excite. "I paint because I
have to. To me painting is spiritual. It's more than just a way
to make sense of my world. It is a sacrament" says the artist.
