Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Offers
Exhibit on Natural Beauty
From Aug. 1 - 30, 2008, Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will host an exhibition of paintings, photographs and ceramics entitled, The Naturalist's World, which will draw attention to the natural beauty of our world. Numerous painters and one photographer will project their view of the natural world. A North Carolina ceramist using natural materials in his work will round out the exhibition.
Elder Gallery is an ardent supporter of Catawba Land Conservancy who permanently protects land, water and wildlife habitat within the Catawba River Basin to enhance our quality of life. A percentage of sales from the exhibition will be donated to Catawba Land Conservancy.
Along with artists from eight states, North Carolina ceramist Warner Hyde will present a body of work that originated from the Carolina elements. "A harmony is reached when I have given my life to the ceramic work and hand it over to fire, which in the end process, deposits its wisdom as beauty to the work" says Hyde, Associate Professor of Art at Meredith College.
"As an active artist in the year 2008, it is my concern to communicate through clay, the ideals of working in harmony and respect with nature by using its materials, as it has heightened my sensitivity to living," adds Hyde.
