Gallery C in
Raleigh, NC, Offers Works by Cynthia Knapp, Carl Krabill, Willie
Marlowe and Diane Patton
Gallery C in Raleigh,
NC, is presenting the exhibit, Summer Selections 2009,
featuring works by Cynthia Knapp, Carl Krabill, Willie Marlowe
and Diane Patton, on view through Sept. 2, 2009.
Atlanta based artist Cynthia Knapp is one of the Southeast's most
prominent non-objective painters. Her works hang in numerous
corporate and private collections around the country including
those of Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, IBM, and many others. In the
last few years Knapp has been taking her imagery out of the two-dimensional
canvas and creating three-dimensional sculpture installations
that add a touch of color and whimsy to such places as Atlanta's
Hartsfield International Airport, WakeMed Hospital, and the facade
of our very own Gallery C.
Carl Krabill
Carl Krabill uses natural landscapes as a traditional structure, but his early background in abstract art is evident as the color of sky, trees, etc. take on a casual looseness of unlikely colors or intense flecks of paint. Intuition guides his style more than attention to reality, his canvases evoking an emotional response in each viewer.
Willie Marlowe
Best known for her small, intimate acrylic and mixed media work on paper, the extensive travels and experiences of artist Willie Marlowe have added to her unique and growing iconography. Marlowe's luminous, brilliantly colored pieces are reminiscent of looking through a microscope at an entirely new, miniscule living world. Marlowe makes playful use of geometric and organic shapes and symbols, all of which reflect her interest in botany, marine life, Celtic culture and the archaeology of Europe, the Yucatan and Russia.
Diane Patton
The newest addition to the Gallery C family of artists, Diane Patton, brings her vibrant abstract paintings. Patton builds her paintings inviting organic forms and shapes, using layer after layer of opaque and transparent paint. Insistent that the painting must be free to wander, her works bear the evidence of the artist's hand. She describes her paintings as a fine line between intent and exploration; never fully planned out at their inception, but informed by her years of experience as an artist.
