Tyndall Galleries
in Chapel Hill, NC, Features Works by Graham Auman
Tyndall
Galleries in Chapel Hill, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Graham
Auman - New Paintings, on view through Aug. 22, 2009.
A native of Sanford, NC, Auman holds a BEDP (Bachelors in Environmental Design, Product Design) from North Carolina State University and an MFA in Ceramics from Indiana University, School of Fine Arts, Bloomington. He completed Independent Study in Ceramics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and a Summer Ceramics Program at Alfred University.
"Auman comes from a background in clay, but for many years he's made highly formal objects with delicately nuanced colors distinguishing 'subject' and 'ground' Auman creates a pillowy, slightly rippled surface by saturating loosely stretched canvas with resin, onto which he applies hundreds of layers of sheer oil paint which he lets drip to a carefully controlled degree. He turns the canvas as he works, so that the drips run in the four cardinal directions, and create shimmers and sheens of color," says Kate Dobbs Ariail of The Independent Weekly, Sept. 12, 2001
Auman has taught as A Visiting Artist at St. Andrews College, Laurinburg; Artist-in-Residence at the University of Georgia Studies Abroad Program in Cortona, Italy; a Lecturer in Design Fundamentals, at the North Carolina State School of Design and an Associate Instructor at Indiana University. His paintings are represented in numerous private and corporate collections, including Neiman Marcus, Quintiles Transnational, Duke University Fuqua School of Business, and the Renaissance Raleigh Hotel.
