Exhibitions at Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville, NC
The Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville, NC, is pleased to announce two new exhibitions: Paul Hartley: A Retrospective on view through Jan. 31, 2003 and Gerry Lynch: Works in Steel on view through Dec. 29, 2002.
Paul Hartley: A Retrospective is a tribute to Greenville artist Paul Hartley, one of North Carolina's most important artists and art educators. Since 1975 he has taught in the School of Art at East Carolina University and is currently professor and coordinator of painting and drawing. The 35 pieces in this exhibition attempt to convey Hartley's creativity, talent, sense of humor, and the list goes on and on. There are works from the 1970s to the present and include paintings, sculptural boxes and mechanical pieces.
Accompanying the exhibition is a color catalogue with an essay by art critic Max Halperen. All those who view this exhibition and read the catalogue will come to know and appreciate one of the most talented and influential artists working in the state today.
Hartley is represented by Lee Hansley Gallery in Raleigh, NC.
Raleigh artist, Gerry Lynch has been an artist and teacher for over 20 years and maintains a studio at Raleigh's Artspace. She is a versatile artist who is as comfortable making monoprints as she is pouring acid onto stainless steel. She incorporates steel in all of the pieces in this exhibition.
About her current work Lynch comments,"Why do I make these things? I think that my attraction to contemporary architecture, especially when steel or titanium is used to coat the structures, has had an influence on my work. Also, my interest in haute couture must be what triggered my idea to use the steel mesh. But my love of eastern calligraphy, especially Islamic script, has probably influenced my work more than anything."
The freshness in her current body of work will be worth a second look.
