June Issue 2002
Charleston County Library in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Randall T. Shepherd
The Main Branch of the Charleston County Public
Library system will present an exhibition entitled, Modernism:
Some Footnotes, by Randall T. Shepherd. The exhibition will
be on view throughout the month of June, 2002, in the Saul Alexander
Gallery, located on the first floor of the Main Branch library
located in historic downtown Charleston, SC.
Modernism: Some Footnotes consists of works created in
various mediums. According to the artist, "The exhibit is
a sort of reply to modernism, or the visual arts from Monet to
Warhol. These works are humble 'replies' to paintings and photographs
that have puzzled and pleased me. There will be two photographs,
perhaps twelve or so paintings, a drawing or two and some modified
found objects, ala Man Ray."
"There is no secret handshake needed, and no oblique message,"
added Shepherd, "but as I filtered the pictures I saw the
theme begin to thread itself. There was a nod to Monet, who began
to thin the illusion of space in his later work, a pencil portrait
of Picasso, an abstract painting of Bacon in the style of Bacon...
The chance to exhibit made me see why I work with such fervor
in the arts. I am giving answers, as humble as they might be,
and perhaps throwing out a question or two in the process."
