Shain Gallery
in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Henry Barnes
Shain Gallery in Charlotte,
NC, will present the exhibit, New Works, featuring new
painting by the Atlanta, GA, artist, Henry Barnes, on view from
Feb. 5 - 28, 2010. His unique pieces chronicle his travels through
the Southeast and Europe as he captures old-world landscape and
its ageless appeal with his original use of color.
A native Georgian, Barnes attended Young Harris College and Huntington
College on basketball scholarships. Following graduation he served
in the US Navy and pursued several career interests including
music before realizing his passion as a painter.
Barnes' principle art studies include six intensive years with Constantin and Roman Chatov, Russian artists trained in Classical Modernism, who in turn trained with the New York Art League and Robert Brackman. It was in the Chatov Studio that Barnes developed his unique color palette and achieved his masterful understanding and use of light. He also studied with New York artist Daniel Greene, as well as Yves Brayer, a noted French artist, while painting in Paris.
Barnes paints landscapes, architectural, figurative and still-life with equal skill. European vistas dominate his landscapes, drawing from his travels to Ireland, Spain and Italy. His success in translating light into various times of day or night is always a source of interest. Barnes' unique palette is warm and cool at the same time contributing to the sense of enchanting serenity and that "all's right with the world" feeling that his paintings capture.
Located in beautiful Myers Park, Shain Gallery has been on the forefront of the North Carolina art scene since 1998. The gallery represents many leading national and regional artists, and recently won the "Best of the Best Award" for best Charlotte gallery.
