Centre Stage - South Carolina in Greenville, SC, Features Works by Lynn Greer
Night Stages, an exhibit of new paintings by Greenville, watercolorist Lynn Greer, will be on display at Centre Stage - South Carolina (CSSC), in Greenville, SC, from July 22 through Sept. 8, 2005. The exhibit is the first inaugural art show in the collaboration between the Metropolitan Arts Council (MAC) and CSSC in which selected MAC artist members display their art at the CSSC facility in the Smith Barney Building at 501 River Street, behind the Westin Poinsett. Night Stages opens one week prior to the CSSC production of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, which runs from July 28 to Aug. 20, 2005.
Night Stages consists of both large and small works focusing on urban landscapes at night. Greenville, Chicago and Las Vegas are just a few of the cities that are depicted by Greer's colorful palette. "I find Lynn's work to be engaging because of her subject matter and her fresh use of color. I also admire Lynn's commitment to her art and to her community," commented Martha Severens, Curator of the Greenville County Museum of Art.
"Centre Stage - South Carolina is an excellent setting for displaying art, and thematically, my urban landscapes seem to be a natural fit, given the theatre's downtown location," said Greer. "It's very important that visual artists and performing artists work together to develop new generations of art purchasers and theatre audiences," she continued.
A native of Greenville, Greer is an alumna of the University of Georgia where she majored in graphic design. Upon graduation she returned to Greenville and began a career in advertising, working at several advertising and advertising-related corporations in both North and South Carolina before becoming a full-time painter.
"Lynn's recent cityscapes not only reveal her mastery of the watercolor medium but also convey an understanding of color that is truly imaginative. Her paintings of Liberty Bridge and other Greenville landmarks reflect a sense of civic pride as well," said past MAC Chairman, Kirk A. Goeldner. "With all the expansion and beautification of the downtown and West End areas, Greenville is fortunate to have an artist who depicts this urban renewal so vibrantly."
