RedSky Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features
Exhibit of Works by Paul Hastings and Devin Burgess
RedSky Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is proud to present an exhibition
of paintings by Paul Hastings and glass work by Devin Burgess.
The exhibition opens with a reception on Friday evening Jan. 14,
for 6-8:30pm, at RedSky Gallery in Dilworth. The show runs through
Feb. 28, 2011.
Devin Burgess is a glassblower who runs his own a studio in Bakersville,
NC, making production and one-of-a-kind pieces. He has a BFA in
sculpture and printmaking from Alfred University in New York.
He has been an instructor at the Penland School of Crafts and
has exhibited his work at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design (North
Carolina), the Philadelphia Museum Craft Show, and the Smithsonian
Craft Show (Washington, DC).
Burgess has been an assistant to many well-known glass artists
including Dale Chihuly and Kenny Pieper. His work is in national
and international collections.
Paul Hastings is an artist who easily moves from landscapes, to
still life paintings, to trompe l'oeil in his chosen medium, oil
painting. His landscapes feature bright, intense color, bordering
on the surreal with an emphasis on amplified perspective. The
accentuated shadows and aggressive highlights of his still life
paintings give them a believability that begs a "touch"
to see if the paintings are truly two dimensional.
Hastings is a self-educated artist who never stops studying and
perfecting his craft through private lessons, workshops, and hours
of independent study. His enthusiasm and insatiable appetite for
producing new and ever more accomplished works keeps his patrons
coming to see "what's new?"
RedSky Gallery features original works on paper and canvas, sculpture,
ceramic, glass, studio furniture, art-to-wear, jewelry, and more.
Over 500 regional and national artists are represented at two
gallery locations in Dilworth and the EpiCentre in Uptown.
