Theatre Art Galleries in High Point, NC, Present Solo Exhibits by Popular NC & SC Painters
Theatre Art Galleries in High Point, NC, is presenting exhibitions by Henry Link, Kevin Taylor, members of the High Point Fine Art Guild and area middle and high school students. The exhibits will be on view through Apr. 7, 2005.
Henry Link
Henry Link, a leader in the "Greensboro
School of Painting", is exhibiting, Recent Paintings,
in TAG's Main Gallery. Taught by veteran UNC-G painting professor
Andrew Martin, Link creates landscapes that reflect a captured
moment in time. The formations of the clouds, the texture of the
land, the length of the horizon, the depiction of natural light
are all compelling elements of Link's work.
Link completed his MFA in Painting at UNC-G in 1978 and has shown
extensively in NC. He has shown at Somerhill Gallery numerous
times, as well as Raleigh Contemporary Gallery, Green Hill Center
for NC Art, Hickory Museum of Art, and the Lee Hansley Gallery
in Raleigh. Widely collected, his work is in numerous collections
including, American Express, Bank of America, BellSouth, NC Baptist
Hospital, Wachovia Corp. and the Weaver Foundation.
Kevin Earl Taylor
One of the most popular and intriguing young painters in Charleston, SC, Kevin Earl Taylor exhibits, Abstract Narratives, in TAG's upstairs Gallery B. This Lowcountry native is active in the art community and expresses his nonconformist creativity through music and film as well as painting. Taylor heads up a punk rock band named "Matter" and often incorporates music with his art showings. Taylor's style of painting can be seductively realistic, yet distorted and dark. He often uses graffiti-like inscriptions and animal imagery. The accumulation of images is somewhat mysterious and surrealistic and never boring.
Taylor earned his BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design. He teaches at Gibbes Museum of Art Studios and has shown his work during the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston and at Space 12 Gallery in Boston, and galleries in Athens and Savannah, GA, and recently in galleries in NYC and LA. Taylor was voted Best Local Visual Artist for the 2001 "Best of Charleston" City Paper.
The High Point Fine Art Guild's Juried Show
is also showing in the Hallway Gallery at TAG.
The 29th Annual Student Show features art works from area
middle and high schools in TAG's Kaleidoscope Youth Gallery. The
theme is "Symbolism: What Lies Beneath".
