Riverworks Gallery
in Greenville, SC, Features Works by Artists Pairs
Riverworks Gallery, on the Riverwalk along the Reedy River in downtown Greenville, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Pairs, featuring works by six artists through Aug. 8, 2010.
Pairs features works by six artists, three married pairs. Do shared lives and in some cases shared studios influence these artists' art? Is there common ground, method, materials, attitude or concept? Is there a common media within the pairs? What's love got to do with it? These are all questions addressed by this exhibit.
Pairs includes Enid Williams (monotypes)
and Paul Yanko (monotype and paintings); Denise Woodward-Detrich
(functional ceramics) and David Detrich (sculpture); and Katy
Bergman Cassell (enamels) and Tim Cassell (functional sculpture).
Paul Yanko
Williams and Yanko both begin their work in the shared studio
of their Greenville home without a lot of preliminary sketches
and planning. Both utilize painstaking but different processes
to allow their work to evolve slowly over time. They are both
exhibiting recent monotypes. Yanko also has two paintings on view.
David Detrich
David Detrich calls the artist a trickster and the humor and playfulness
of his sculpture eases the sting of his commentary. Playfulness
and fun are a large part of Denise Woodward-Detrich's vases and
covered jars. Her covered jars, especially, are visually in motion
and seem to dance off the pedestals. Both of David and Denise
address our material world, David utilizes consumer material and
found objects. Denise creates functional ceramics, the antithesis
of our consumer driven, throw-away materiality. They have contiguous
studios in a shared building behind their home in Walhalla, SC.
Katy Cassell and Tim Cassell both work with copper. Katy's enamels
use copper as the canvas or support for her enamels but Tim showcases
the copper in his hammered basins emphasizing its natural luster
and patina. Katy co ops the forms and pallet of nature and Tim
creates forms intended to be a part of and compliment to the natural
landscape. Katy references geometry in her work because she is
making parts of a whole but Tim's concrete bases are geometric
in contrast to his organically basins. Katy works out of her teaching
studio at the Fine Arts Center and Tim has a studio at Artbomb
in Greenville.
Riverworks Gallery will be closed July 3 -12, 2010. Riverworks
Gallery is Greenville Technical College's downtown gallery.
