Eva Carter Gallery in Charleston, SC, Offers Solo Exhibition of Works by Eva Carter
Expect
the unexpected this year at Eva Carter's solo exhibition at the
Eva Carter Gallery in Charleston, SC. Entitled, EXTREMES,
the exhibit opens on May 2 and continues through June 9, 2003.
"Anticipation mounts
as we await the delivery of the painting, Extremes, from
Eva's Wadmalaw Island studio," says gallery director, Erica
Love. At seven and a half-foot high and twelve-foot long, the
work is Carter's largest work on canvas since her solo show at
the Gibbes Museum of Art in 1993. The abstract expressionist artist
has been painting intensively for her upcoming show. The exhibition
will explore Carter's fascination with scale as she exhibits oil
on canvas paintings that drastically contrast in size all the
while maintaining their bold and brilliant presence.
Carter discusses working on the painting Extremes. "Scale
is extremely important in my work. When I work at this gigantic
scale, I become a part of the painting rather than the painting
becoming a part of me- it fills my entire field of view and becomes
my environment. Its size has certainly pushed my limits- creatively,
emotionally, and physically."
The Eva Carter Gallery also represents the work of the late William Halsey, Charleston's most modern (abstract) artist and recipient of the Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Award, SC's highest award for the arts, for Lifetime Achievement.
