The Gallery
at Carillon in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Peter Alberice
and Anatoly Tsiris
The Gallery at Carillon
in Charlotte, NC, is presenting a two-person exhibition, entitled
Architecture Abstractions: Two Artists' Perspectives, featuring
works by Peter Alberice and Anatoly Tsiris on view through Apr.
30, 2010. The exhibit was organized by Hodges Taylor Gallery in
Charlotte.
Peter Alberice
Peter Alberice is a
practicing architect and artist living in Asheville, NC. He
has both bachelor and master degrees in architecture from the
College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech. Alberice's
work has been exhibited in several group shows and galleries in
the region and has been purchased by individual and corporate
collectors.
Alberice's paintings represent an ongoing exploration of the duality
of architecture being both abstract and integrated with the natural
environment. They can be characterized as a continual study
of the horizontal and the vertical, of exterior and interior space
and, of the land and the sky. Alberice's works are a means
to this exploration of shapes as definers of space. The paintings
are acrylic on canvas or mixed media on paper.
Anatoly Tsiris
Anatoly Tsiris, a professional craftsman and artist who creates large vessels, was born into a family of schoolteachers in the small Ukrainian town called Kmelnitsky. Carrying on the family tradition, he graduated from Shevchenko Institute of Pedagogy in Lugansk, Ukraine with a teaching degree in math and science. Tsiris currently lives in Charlotte working as a full time artist. He has been recognized nationally and his work is available in a number of galleries.
Thanks to Tsiris's previous
metalworking experience, the technical side rarely puts any limits
on his imagination. He prefers to work on a large scale and is
attracted to unusual pieces of wood, seeing the beauty in the
irregularities. What someone else would probably consider a defect
Tsiris sees the unique personality of the piece-of-art-to-be.
"Every piece of wood has a 'personality', a 'story' enclosed
in it", states Tsiris. "My job is to let it out."
The exhibition is sponsored by Hines Charlotte Carillon LP.
