Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash,
NC, Features Works by Kevin Beck
Sunset River Marketplace art gallery in Calabash, NC, will feature the pastels and some oil paintings of Kevin Beck from Apr. 14 through May 9, 2008. Beck is a contemporary artist living in Blowing Rock, NC.
Known for the vibrancy and resonance of his palette, this well-known colorist sees and interprets the landscape in shades of teal, chartreuse and berry. Viewers are transfixed by the depth and translucence of his work both in pastel and oil.
Beck has been featured in Pastel Artist International (2002), Spectator Magazine (1999), Our State Magazine (2007), Life Styles Magazine (2006), Carolina Mountain Living (2004), Art in Embassies (2007), BRAHM Catalog (2005, 2006), and the soon to be published Mountains & Memories by R. McGrath, University of Chicago Press.
Beck is collected throughout the USA, Canada, Europe and NZ. He's included in numerous corporate collections including: Wachovia and SunTrust Banks, Tennessee Valley Authority, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee and the Art in Embassies Department of the United States Government. He has been in 14 one-man-shows and has been juried into numerous national competitions. Beck currently exhibits with the Arts in the Embassy Program 2006-2008 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The show at Sunset River Marketplace will include several of Beck's much-awaited "Sedona paintings" completed on a recent trip to the Southwest. The final week of the show will coincide with an artists' workshop in pastel and oil at the gallery's workshop facility, Sunset River Studio, also located in Calabash.
