Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Feature Works by Wade Hoefer & Gustavo Acosta
Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions for Wade Hoefer and Gustavo Acosta, on view Sept. 7 through Oct. 27, 2001.

Wade Hoefer, a native Californian, paints timeless and mysterious landscapes and adds the traditional genre of still life to this current body of works. His paintings are conspicuously void of human presence or wildlife, but thoroughly infused with atmosphere and a sense of tranquility. Characteristics of Hoefer's works is his compositional choice of "framing" his works with a wide contrasting landscape border. The creation of a dual picture adds yet another dimension to his rich, highly textural canvases and works on paper.

Gustavo Acosta
Gustavo Acosta, born in Cuba and now residing in Miami, sees the past in fragments. He has made city streets, decaying buildings, viaducts, monumental staircases, unvisited city parks and seemingly abandoned rooms the principle points of focus in his art for a number of years. The artist's handling of the surface of his painting, which often seems distressed and worked over by many layers of ever-deepening dark color, enhances the mood of dismay. Acosta is a poet of human isolation who has the ability to reveal through paint and images the personal loneliness that is so much a part of the dilemma of modern urban existence.
