May Issue 2002
Burroughs-Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC, Features Works by Donald Furst & Betty Robinson
Donald Furst
Printmaking will be the subject beginning May 4, when the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum, in Myrtle Beach, SC, welcomes Wilmington, NC, educator Donald Furst and his exhibition Mystery in the Mundane. The University of North Carolina art professor will be showing 43 works that will feature a wide variety of printmaking processes, including color intaglio, color mezzotint, glass-plate intaglio, stone lithography, woodcut, and photopolymer relief. The exhibit will continue through June 16, 2002.
Furst's prints have been included in distinguished group exhibitions throughout the United States and the world, as well as in a number of solo shows. Widely recognized for his commitment to teaching, he was awarded the 1999 North Carolina Board of Governor's Excellence in Teaching award and has been the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships.
Included in the exhibit are prints from two suites of work entitled Love and Architecture and 421 Nights, the first inspired by his honeymoon in Italy and the second by night travels along North Carolina Highway 421 from the western mountains to the coast. In addition to these suites, his prints explore themes of faith, suburban nights, and steps and ladders as a metaphor for striving. Always exquisitely executed, the prints are intellectual, subtle, and mysterious, suggesting much more than the chiaroscuro scene at hand.
Georgetown watercolorist Betty Robinson's exhibition Seasoned Landscapes, which opened in April, will also be showing at the Museum through May 26, 2002. Her vivid Lowcountry landscapes of ever-changing marsh and river vistas allow viewers to evoke their own associations with each splendid setting.
