David Connell is a Raleigh native of many talents.
Many may know him as a musician, playing bass for the incomparable
Connells. However, he is also a visual artist who seeks out the
"overlooked" everyday views, landscapes and cityscapes.
He composes in the plein air method from life, making a small
study to take to the studio and enlarge. Maybe you have seen him
with his easel and oils on the roadside as you are going about
your busy day.
This exhibition will be a collection of these
"unconsidered vistas", captured in oils. Many of the
paintings are views of Raleigh that
bring on a sense of nostalgia. With the changing face of downtown
development, these views of the warehouse districts and surrounding
vicinities are certain to change very soon with the demolition
of Dillon
Supply and the redevelopment of Raleigh's downtown. Connell has
an eye for views light and landscapes that inspire us to re-evaluate
our world and look again.
Rebus Works is a 27-foot long exhibition space organized by artists for artists. It is located in the workspace of Shonna Greenwell's pH seven fine arts framing and the office of Lee Moore, an arts educator who also works in photography. The exhibition space is at 301-2 Kinsey St., built in 1910, which originally housed a neighborhood grocery store called Honeycutt Grocery. It is located directly beside the Boylan Avenue Bridge.
Rebus Works is dedicated to presenting compelling and innovative works. Changing exhibitions will focus on the works of featured artists. The Storefront will be used for showing various works, including printed media and functional and fine art. Rebus Works encourages community involvement in the visual arts by making accessible resources for and about artists, fine arts framing, arts education programs, and affordable art for purchase.
