June Issue 2009
Queen's Gallery
& Art Center in Charlotte, NC, Features Group Exhibit
Katherine Blackwell,
Cher Cosper, David Thayer French, Joshua Gage, Paul Keysar, Andrew
Leventis, Osiris Rain, and P. S. Thibodeaux will display their
work June 1 - 30, 2009, in an exhibit titled, Realism Found:
Charlotte Artists Find New Meaning in an Old Tradition, at
the Queen's Gallery & Art Center in Charlotte, NC.
These eight artists, though bonded together through their love
of representational art, each find different ways to express their
creative talents within the genre. Katherine Blackwell has found
her artistic voice in her "Melty People", a concentration
spawned from years of youthful sketches contorting and manipulating
the human body.
Cher Cosper's work includes post-impressionist style paintings
with bold colors and nude drawings. David Thayer French's focus
has been on the changing facades of his home town, Charlotte,
NC, and the artist enclave of NoDa.
Joshua Gage's mastery of trump l'oeil gives life and beauty
to otherwise discarded objects. Paul Keysar is recognized for
his classic, representational oil paintings and is known for the
use of light, atmosphere, and weather in his landscapes. Andrew
Leventis uses a precise painting style to draw attention to the
classification of things and investigate the problems that arise
from containing heterogeneous objects within a single framework.
Osiris Rain's current work reflects on the tide of emotions, their
pull on the heart, and their effect on memory; from large allegories
to smaller composed objects. P. S. Thibodeaux's ongoing series
of allegorical paintings, "Reminders", are dreamscapes
containing symbolic messages about life's lessons.
