Merrill-Jennings Galleries in Davidson, NC, Features 200 Works by Addie James
The Merrill-Jennings Galleries in Davidson, NC, will present a one-woman show for folk artist, Addie James, featuring over 200 paintings and objects d' art, from Feb. 4 - 28, 2006.
Authentic self-taught
artist, Addie James, brings joy and life to her colorful paintings
reflecting her decades of living the African-American experience
in Statesville, NC, Whether James is depicting a group of children
at play, a gathering of high fashion friends out on the town,
or painting African masks on flip sides of a homemade fan... each
work smiles for attention, then surprises the beholder by captivating
the imagination and lingering long after the image is gone.
Just before Christmas, James and her family suffered a fire in
their home, which destroyed most of their possessions. They will
be living in temporary housing until spring of this year. In spite
of this setback, James remains positive and paints everyday. During
these difficult times, she is thankful that most of her new art
was safe at the gallery and will be included in this show.
