Lee Hansley Gallery in Raleigh, NC, Features Next Generation of NC Artists
Thirty-nine artists between the ages of 21 and 35 created the work for a new art exhibition at the Lee Hansley Gallery in Raleigh, NC. The exhibition entitled New and Hot North Carolina, will be on view through Aug. 19, 2006.
Seven of the artists were invited to participate by gallery director Lee Hansley. "Those seven have already demonstrated that they are serious about art and art is likely to be their lifelong pursuit," Hansley said. The invited artists are Meredith Brickwell, Ashlynn Browning, Luke Buchanan and Jacob Kincheloe of Raleigh, Jonathan Courtland of Durham and Kirk Fanelly and Ahmad Sabha of Charlotte.
The gallery issued an open call to young North Carolina artists and 32 were selected to join the invited artists. Raleigh participants are Rob Damman, Ben Galata, Jamie Gray, Adam Hall, Kay Hutchinson, Daniel Kelly, Hayley Kyle, Lia Newman and Alison Sobel-Read.
From Greensboro are Catherine Berlanga, Barbara Campbell, Gina Gibson, Patrick Leger, Christopher Thomas and Nathaniel Underwood. And from Greenville are Audrey Lange Combs, Matt Kerley, Jeremy Richard Millard, Amy Scheidegger and Lauren Casey Scharling.
Charlotte artists in the show are Sharon Dowell, Laura McCarthy and Ana Ayala Melendez. Durham artists in the show are Zeynep Cagla Alkan, Ivan Liotchev and Gillian Parke, and from Cary are Shannon Johnstone, Nicole Litts, Ginny Payne and Jennifer Weinberg. Rounding out the show are Arianna Hoffman and Caroline Cobb Wright of Chapel Hill.
In the exhibition are works from a wide variety of media including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, clay, video and installation art.
According to Hansley, the purpose of the show is to "test the pulse of what is going on in North Carolina today among the young and serious artists. Many of these artists will comprise the next generation of successful artists in this state," he added.
