Hodges Taylor Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features New Group Exhibition
Hodges Taylor Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is
pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition featuring works by
four artists: Matt Overend, Eric Olsen, Alice Sebrell, and Marc
Maiorana. The exhibition opens on May 5 and continues through
June 30, 2006.
Matt Overend
Matt Overend of South Carolina is a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology. He then studied at the University of California at Santa Barbara, following which he received a Fellowship to Yale University. Well known for his Road Studies and Still Life paintings, Overend will also include a number of his architectural paintings, a recent focus. His characteristic use of brushstroke is evident in these works, as is the use of light and color.
Eric Olsen
Eric Olsen of Charlotte attended the North
Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, NC, the Art Institute
of Chicago where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting
and Drawing, and East Carolina University where he completed his
MFA. Olsen is interested in the human form through an abstracted
interpretation of gestural drawings and bold color. The "looseness"
of his technique de-emphasizes detail and focuses on form and
movement.
Alice Sebrell
Alice Sebrell, a Charlotte native, has lived in Asheville, NC, since 1997. She earned her MFA in Photography from The Savannah College of Art and Design and her BFA from the University of Delaware. Sebrell was a recent recipient of a North Carolina Arts Council Project Grant and a Charlotte/Mecklenburg Arts & Science Council Regional Emerging Artist Grant. Her camera has been used to subjectively obscure and rearrange her subjects in a delightfully surprising manner.
Marc Maiorana
Marc Maiorana studied metals at Southern Illinois
University at Carbondale. He now maintains a studio in Asheville,
NC, having completed his residency at Penland School of Crafts.
The idea of beginning with mass and drawing down, down, and down
into endless line is fundamental to Maiorana's work. The massive
fabricated steel sculptures in this show are intended for outdoor
installation where they will develop a rich patina with nature's
wear.
In business since 1981, Hodges Taylor Gallery represents contemporary
artists of the southeast, including paintings, prints, photographs
and sculpture. The gallery offers a public venue in uptown Charlotte
for viewing artwork and serves as art consultants for individual
